A Rosé We Wait For All Year: 2025 Clos Fornelli Vin de Corse Rosé
This is a favorite of our very own Chelsea Bell. I respect her palate for rose more than just about anyone I have ever met. Once you've tasted it, it's easy to understand why.
At first glance, the wine's delicate pale color and fragrant, floral nose suggest something ethereal and effortless but showing remarkable structure that lies beneath. Light, crisp, and beautifully refreshing, it nevertheless delivers depth, texture, and persistence rarely found in rosés of this style.
The secret begins with Sciaccarellu, Corsica's native grape and one of the wine world's true hidden treasures. Offering bright red berry fruit, wild herbs, citrus peel, and an unmistakable Mediterranean character, Sciaccarellu produces a rosé unlike anything else. There simply isn't another wine quite like it from anywhere in the world.
Clos Fornelli is committed to preserving the grape's natural energy and freshness. No malolactic fermentation is permitted, allowing the wine to retain its vibrant acidity, precision, and lift. The result is a rosé that feels alive in the glass and endlessly drinkable.
Whether paired with seafood, summer vegetables, grilled fish, or simply enjoyed on a warm evening with friends, the 2025 Clos Fornelli Vin de Corse Rosé captures everything we love about summer drinking while offering a level of complexity that keeps you coming back for another sip.
Summer is coming. It’s time to be ready.
