2023 Domaine Poli Patrimonio 'Clos Alivu' Rosé

100% Niellucciu (aka Sangiovese) from 50+ year old vines. Protected by the maritime influences of the Golfe de Saint-Florent, vines cultivated on the limestone soils of Patrimonio’s hillsides rarely require treatments of any kind, so Eric’s practices are essentially organic (though without certification). This is a light, dry, sophisicated pink wine with a lightly floral (rose petal) and herbaceous tone to its bright strawberry and watermelon fruit. Crisp refreshing acidity and a mineral-laden finish make this patrimonio a cut above your average rosé. Eric, his father, Angelo, and Antoine, his brother, produce their own wine and established the Domaine de Piana in 1996.  In 2005, Yves Leccia, a winemaker in the Patrimoniu region, told him that 7 acres were up for sale in Oletta. Le Clos Alivu was born!
