Cap Corse Mattei Blanc Quinquina 750ml

Corsica's White Aperitif — Floral, Crisp, and Timeless

Cap Corse Mattei Blanc is the white expression of Corsica's most celebrated aperitif wine, crafted since 1872 from Corsican white Muscat wine infused with cinchona bark (quinine), citrus peel, and a proprietary blend of herbs. Lighter and more floral than the Rouge, it delivers a crisp, bittersweet complexity with a delicate Muscat character that makes it one of the most elegant aperitif wines in the world.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Floral and fresh. White Muscat leads with citrus blossom, a hint of quinine bitterness, and a clean, aromatic character.
• Palate: Crisp and bittersweet. Floral Muscat and quinine-driven bitterness are balanced by a gentle sweetness and herbal complexity.
• Finish: Clean and refreshing. Floral notes and gentle bitterness linger with an elegant, dry close.
