Tucked into the vibrant heart of Denver’s RiNo Arts District, Corsica Wine Bar  is a compelling new addition to the city's dining scene, and a true celebration of Mediterranean flavors—both on the plate and in the glass.

At Corsica, wine isn’t just a beverage—it’s a condiment, an essential pairing that enhances every bite. The 200+ bottle wine list, curated by award-winning duo Emily Nevin-Giannini and Gretchen Thomas (of Barcelona Wine Bar fame), is a treasure trove of European selections, with a focus on rare, farmer-crafted wines from Corsica and beyond. Impressively, three-quarters of the list is priced under $75, making exceptional wine remarkably approachable.

The same thoughtful ethos carries over to the cocktail menu, where amaro, aperitivo, and spritz culture take center stage. The drinks lean crisp, savory, and refreshing—lower in alcohol, light on sweetness, and perfectly designed to complement the food. Don’t miss the frozen aperitif—a show-stopper that’s as fun as it is delicious.

Corsica’s menu is centered around shareable small plates, each one crafted with ingredient-driven precision. Highlights include roasted carrots with just the right char and tenderness, tuna carpaccio that melts on the tongue, and the perfect finale: a creamy, beautifully balanced affogato.

The setting is airy, colorful, and welcoming, with an open kitchen that adds a touch of theatricality to the dining experience. Attentive, knowledgeable servers help guide you through the journey—whether you’re exploring an obscure Mediterranean red or eyeing your next small plate.

Corsica is more than just a meal—it’s a relaxed, refined trip through the coasts of Europe, one glass and one bite at a time.
