And a wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Sciaccarellu: This is the local Corsican name for the native Tuscan variety known as Mammolo. It supposedly has a very intense/characteristic aroma of violets, which I can see somewhat in this rose. As a red wine, Mammolo tends to oxidize rapidly and has fallen in disfavor in Tuscany. It is regarded by some as a better blender w/ Sangio than Syrah or Cab, where it tends to dominate the blend. AcornWnry/AlegriaVnyd has some planted in Calif.
