Rosumarinu Rouge 2025 - Sant Armettu

   Corse Estate 

Can it be aged?

It has good aging potential, even though it was primarily designed to offer great pleasure in its youth.

Thanks to the Sciaccarellu grape, the freshness imparted by the granitic soils, and its beautiful natural tension, this cuvée can generally be aged for 4 to 7 years under good cellar conditions. Over time, the aromas of fresh red fruit will evolve into more complex notes of stewed fruit, sweet spices, Corsican maquis, and sometimes light leather or undergrowth.

In its early years, the wine primarily showcases its lusciousness, fruity vibrancy, and silky texture. After a few years of aging, it will gain depth, finesse, and aromatic complexity while retaining the typical elegance of Sciaccarellu.

For optimal storage, it is recommended to keep the bottles lying down in a cool, dark, and stable cellar at around 12°C (54°F).

The red wine

Rosumarinu Rouge from Domaine Sant’Armettu is an emblematic cuvée showcasing the full elegance of Sciaccarellu, one of Corsica’s signature grape varieties. The vineyards are located on the hillsides overlooking the Gulf of Propriano and Tizzano, where granite soils bring freshness, finesse, and natural tension to the wine.

Made from 100% Sciaccarellu, the grapes are fully destemmed and carefully sorted to preserve the purity of the fruit. Gentle extraction techniques are used during vinification to maintain the delicate aromatic profile of the grape. Produced without added sulfites and bottled unfiltered, Rosumarinu Rouge offers an authentic and vibrant expression of Corsican winemaking. Ageing entirely in stainless steel tanks preserves freshness and aromatic brightness.

The wine reveals a delicate ruby color with garnet reflections. The nose opens with generous aromas of fresh strawberry, raspberry, and crunchy cherry, complemented by subtle white pepper and Mediterranean herb notes. On the palate, the texture is supple and silky, supported by the lively tension that is characteristic of Sciaccarellu. The natural freshness perfectly balances the wine’s fruit intensity and elegant structure.

Rosumarinu Rouge stands out for its approachable yet refined style, combining aromatic intensity with finesse. It is a versatile and convivial wine that can elevate both casual meals and more sophisticated cuisine.

How should it be served? Best enjoyed between 14 and 16°C after slight aeration. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, Corsican charcuterie, roasted poultry, Mediterranean dishes, and lightly spiced cuisine.

What can you feel during the tasting? The tasting experience delivers an immediate sensation of freshness and generosity. Red berry flavors burst across the palate with elegance, while spicy pepper notes add depth and complexity. The wine remains light, silky, and highly drinkable, finishing with refined spice and freshness.
