L.N. Mattei Cap Corse Blanc Quinquina

A beautifully distinctive quinquina that marries Mediterranean freshness with remarkable depth. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing citron zest, white flowers and ripe orchard fruit, followed by chamomile, alpine herbs and a delicate saline minerality. Medium-bodied with a silky, wine-driven texture. The palate opens with layers of preserved lemon, white peach and Muscat blossom before Vermentinu's crisp acidity and mineral backbone take hold. A refined thread of quinine bitterness unfolds through the mid-palate, joined by hints of gentian, warm spice and Mediterranean herbs. The finish is long, vibrant and impeccably balanced, lingering with candied citron, grapefruit pith, white pepper and subtle floral notes. Complex without heaviness, this is an aperitif wine of exceptional precision that rewards both contemplative sipping and classic cocktails.
