Cap Corse Mattei Rouge Quinquina 750ml

Corsica's Most Celebrated Aperitif — Since 1872

Cap Corse Mattei has been crafting its legendary quinquina aperitif wines on the island of Corsica since 1872, and the Rouge is their most iconic expression. Made from Corsican Muscat wine infused with cinchona bark (quinine), bitter orange, and a proprietary blend of herbs and spices, it delivers a rich, bittersweet complexity that has made it a beloved aperitif across France and beyond. A true taste of Corsican terroir and tradition.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich and aromatic. Muscat wine leads with bitter orange, cinchona bark, and a warm herbal complexity.
• Palate: Bittersweet and layered. Quinine-driven bitterness is balanced by the richness of Corsican Muscat and layers of herbal and citrus complexity.
• Finish: Long and warming. Bitter herbs and wine sweetness linger with a satisfying, complex close.
