Domaine de Marquiliani

Corsican rosé blending native Sciacarello with Shiraz and Vermentino.

Domaine de Marquiliani produces wine in Corsica, the Mediterranean island whose rugged terrain and maritime climate shape distinctive expressions of local and international varieties. The domaine's Le Rosé de Pauline blends Sciacarello—a native Corsican grape—with Shiraz and Vermentino, combining regional character with broader appeal. The wine has been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate. Corsica's position between France and Italy, its granite soils, and cooling sea breezes create conditions for wines of mineral precision and aromatic intensity. Sciacarello in particular thrives in this environment, offering red-fruit notes and savory depth. The addition of Shiraz and Vermentino to this rosé suggests a winemaking approach that balances Corsican tradition with international technique, yielding a wine suited to the island's sun-drenched summers and seafood-rich cuisine.
