L.N. Mattei Cap Corse Grande Reserves – Quinquinas from Corsica

Cap Corse, the northern tip of the French island of Corsica, provides a superb terroir for grape varieties such as Muscat or Vermentinu. The island’s iconic brand L.N. Mattei Cap Corse has been using these aromatic grapes for 150 years to create their signature bittersweet aperitif wines. Most recently, the range has been extended by an  equally intriguing Mediterranean-style dry gin.

This floral, fresh aperitif wine is made from fortified sweet wine (mistelle), cinchona bark and botanicals like local cedrat (citron lemon). Rich herbal aromas with honeysuckle, elderflower, grape juice, lemongrass and intense bitterness.

 

Perfect as refreshing aperitif on ice, with tonic water or sparkling wine. Besides, it works particularly well in the Vesper Martini and 20th Century Cocktail.
