L.N Mattei Cap Corse Quinquina Aperitif

An array of herbs, cut grass, and dried fruit opens the nose, with elderflower, rosemary, and caramel leading the palate before fading into a short, peppery finish full of quinine bitterness.

Named for the northern Corsican peninsula where Mattei was born, it remains the oldest and best known aperitif on the island, still family owned today, with every step of maceration, aging, and bottling handled in house exactly as it has been for over 150 years.
