Staff Pick Notes

If you love Provencal roses but are ready to branch out, search no further than this lovely Corsican rose. Hailing from the eastern coast of Corsica, Domaine Fazi was established by Vincent Fazi in the 1970s. The rocky landscape of this island translates into a chisled, rose full of stony minerality, yet nicely balanced by notes of strawberry and wild tart raspberries. The wine is a blend of Sciacarrellu, a local grape, as well as the more commonly seen merlot, grenache, and cinsault. The crisp, refreshing profile of this wine makes it a perfect match for a sultry New York summer day. Drink well chilled, and pair with hard cheese, fruits, summer salads, and movie nights in the park.

It has one of the most impressive and distinctive textures of any wine, and has long been prized for the "softening" effect it can have on Cabernet Sauvignon - especially...
