Pop A Cork - Wine [440]
What is Corsica famous for?...I can only think of one answer. Apart from the Corsican mafia, Corsica is famous for its giants. Apparently, there were people there who were 3 meters tall. Archaeologists have (allegedly) unearthed bones of giants there, which, however, have remained missing to this day. So nobody knows anything... But I discovered something else Corsican. It's a dry red wine. Vintage 2021, the wine is of course "Reserve du President" and has the obligatory inscription "Mis en bouteille a la propriete". I also find the inscription "Niellucciu" which indicates the producer of this wine. Clever Corsicans also wrote "Ile de beaute" on the bottle. I have already tasted the wine, it is a distant relative of Bordeaux in terms of taste. However, I am not surprised that the President (of France) has this wine in reserve....🍷
