Description

What a pleasure it is to (re)discover 100% Cinsault wines, such as this Piccolo from Domaine Le Clos Rouge! … The wine shines with elegance and finesse. On the first sniff, crisp red fruits; after a moment’s breathing, delicate spicy and peppery notes emerge, typical of this grape variety. The whole is carried by a slender, airy structure. Tarts, quiches, grilled meats, vegetarian lasagne… The gastronomic spectrum of its lightness is broad.
