Varietal: Vermentino Vintage: 2023

Colour: White Style: Dry

Producer: Clos Venturí

Description: Clos Venturi is a 28-hectare vineyard within Domaine Vico in the northeast of Corsica. Current winemaker Emmanuel (Manu) Venturi and his father Jean-Marc separated this plot from Domaine Vico after identifying the potential of its ancient sandstone soils and sheltered position, surrounded by forests and mountains. Certified both organic and biodynamic, Manu has introduced sheep and chickens to the vineyard, providing natural
fertiliser and weed control alongside beehives to further improve biodiversity. Yields are deliberately kept low and the vineyards are worked by horsepower to reduce soil compaction.

Tasting Note : Pale straw in colour with green reflections, this 100% Vermentino opens with a refreshing bouquet of white flowers, citrus and orchards fruits. The palate is rich yet fresh and balanced, with an alluring fruit-driven and floral expression and a persistent finish.
