Floral and salty, this Vermentino is refreshing and mineral, the perfect introduction to Corsican white wines.
Variety: 100% Vermentino
Location: Corsica, FR
Alcohol: 11-14%
This entirely stainless steel aged Vermentino is an excellent introduction to the richness, the minerality, and the poise of Corsican white wines. There's a floral nuance that Vermentino (known in Corsica as Vermentinu) is famous for, and an unmistakeable gentle saltiness to the finish of this wine that makes it such an excellent, refreshing partner to food (and a noble wine to sip and contemplate).
Native yeast fermentations and minimal sulfuring.
The Patrimonio vineyard site that this wine hails from might easily be mistaken for a lunar landscape given the broken limestone chunks strewn all about, were it not for the fact that the vines are planted on such steep slopes. That, and the teeming Mediterranean shores not far away. The vineyard sites have never seen a single chemical input, and are now certified organic since the 2018 vintage.
