Selected from 40-year-old vines, this wine is produced in limited quantities, ensuring an authentic expression of its terroir. Grapes are harvested at full ripeness, early in the morning, to preserve their freshness, then pressed immediately. Aging in stainless steel tanks helps maintain an intact aromatic purity. Its pale yellow hue with golden reflections reveals a wine with a rich texture, featuring an aromatic progression from anise to white flower, culminating in a persistent mineral finish.

Our Review of the Cuvée
Domaine Comte Abbatucci
In Corsica, Domaine Comte Abbatucci is situated in the Taravo valley, where it preserves and enhances an ancient ampelographic heritage. The vineyard is managed biodynamically and predominantly planted with indigenous grape varieties, including Sciaccarellu, Vermentinu, Barbarossa, and Carcajolu, all well-suited to the hillsides and the Mediterranean climate tempered by maritime influence.
Vineyard management focuses on achieving balanced ripeness, thereby preserving the aromatic finesse and natural freshness of the grapes. Vinifications are conducted with precision, avoiding excessive extraction. The resulting wines exhibit supple textures and a measured amplitude, underpinned by delicate and expressive fruit.
The aging processes, often extended, are managed with restraint to impart complexity and polish without making the profiles heavy. This approach enables the cuvées to achieve a balance between the inherent generosity of the Mediterranean context and a distinct island freshness. The domain's overall work establishes a strong identity.
