Among the most famous of French Quinquina, enjoyed for generations by visitors and residents of the Island of Corsica. It is composed of a variety of local and exotic spices, walnuts and cinchona bark (quinine) on a base of Corsican Muscat and Vermentinu grapes. The result is an aperitif of tremendous depth with a wonderfully dry finish. Cap Corse Rouge is traditionally served neat or on ice with tonic or soda, garnished with citrus peel. It adds life to all sorts of wood-aged spirits, even in simple highballs. In 1872, a merchant named Louis-Napoleon Mattei named his aperitif wine after his native Cap Corse, a peninsula of Corsica that juts northward into the Mediterranean. A territory of France, Corsica has over the centuries been influenced by both France and Italy, as well as northern Africa. Still today family owned, and all macerations, aging and bottling are done in house.
