The strong red wines (as the Domaine Vico) perfectly
match with dishes with high flavour: duck, meats with strong taste (beef, lamb,
mutton…). We can also test them with exotic dishes composed of meat (couscous,
tagine…). The red Corsican wines will also perfectly match with the famous
Corsican cheeses (as the “tome de brebis”).
For the fruitiest red wines (as the Clos Canarelli) they will perfectly
match with delicatessen, white meats, and also with the sweetest goat’s
cheeses.

Rosé wines
The trends are showing that the rosé wines are very popular,
particularly during the aperitif time on summer. The French trend is the
implementation of numerous establishments for evening-buffet (“bars à vins” for example). This concept
is actually very popular in Corsica.
Nevertheless, the Corsican rosé
wines (as the Clos Canarelli or the Clos d’Alzeto) can also be served with a
lot of different dishes, thanks to their fruity taste that is ideal to enhance
each flavour. Do not hesitate anymore to enjoy your fishes, your summer salads
and your grilled meats with some Corsican rosé
wines.
White wines
The Corsican white wines are put in light by
the biggest French sommeliers abroad. Without any doubt, the grape variety Vermentinu allows to product a lot of typical
wines with a constant high quality.
Moreover, the contemporary food trends are
matching with white wine: fishes, sushi, vegetables… Today, women are looking
for wines of high quality, and the fair sex prefers the white wines.
Finally, we begin to understand that the white
wine can also match with most of the cheeses (in a better way than the red
wine). This recent discovery has to be taken in consideration in our country
that counts thousands types of cheeses. For example, a typical Corsican cheese
(the Brocciu) can perfectly be served
with Corsican white wine! More information on: http://www.olivier-poussier.com/brocciu-les-blancs-corses-lui-vont-si-bien.html.
