The Elegance and Minerality of a White Wine by Clos Venturi

The Estate

Born from the finest terroirs of the historic Vico estate, Clos Venturi officially became a distinct entity in 2005. Located in Ponte-Leccia, in the heart of Corsica's mountains, this estate spans a vineyard of 25 hectares. A pioneer of biodynamic viticulture on the island, the estate is dedicated to showcasing native grape varieties through a rigorous plot-by-plot approach. Today, Emmanuel Venturi leads the estate, carrying on the family's commitment to producing distinctive, pure wines deeply marked by their high-altitude terroir.

The Vineyard

Classified as Vin de France, this wine comes from a high-altitude vineyard located in the center of the island, far from maritime influences. The vines thrive on schist soils at the base of the hillsides, benefiting from an ideal south and southeast exposure for balanced ripening. The mountain climate, marked by cool nights, preserves the freshness and tension of the grapes. The entire vineyard is farmed according to organic and biodynamic principles, with controlled yields and hand-harvested grapes.

Winemaking and Aging

For the "Brama" Biancu Gentile 2025, the grapes are fully destemmed before undergoing an eight-day cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation begins naturally with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks. The wine is then aged on fine lees for six to eight months, enhancing its complexity and texture. Bottling is carried out without fining, with only a very light filtration.
