The Wine Atlas Île-de-Beauté Rosé, 2023 vintage, comes from Corsica and is produced by Vignerons D’Aghione. It features a blend of Niellucciu, Sciacarellu (20%), Syrah (10%) and Grenache (50%), with a 4-month maturation period and an 11% ABV. The wine is a IWC Bronze Medal Winner 2024 and is a new wine in the Asda Wine Atlas range.
It has a pale colour that appears darker in the wider-than-normal bottle. On the nose, it offers great floral aromas, which are both inviting and delicate. Despite the bottle’s claim of a delicious citrus palate, the taste is more characterised by redcurrant, cranberry and peach, creating a fuller profile than promised.
Priced at £7 from Asda, this great tasting wine is a bargain, especially when similar wines are priced around £10. During 25% off periods, it becomes an amazing deal at £5.25. Considering it is not bulk bottled, the price is particularly impressive. The wine is suitable for vegans.
