The estate

Situated in the high-altitude village of Ponte Leccia, the Clos Venturi is one of the most recent estates of Corse, born in the early 2000s from the partition of the finest terroirs of the Domaine Vico, another property of Jean-Marc and Manu Venturi.

The vineyard

This Corse estate oversees a vineyard of around twenty hectares.

The wine

This "Clos" is made from vines planted on sandstone soils, oriented south/south-east.

Winemaking and aging

Hand-harvested, the grapes are partially destemmed before fermentation in foudres with indigenous yeasts. Maceration lasts about 45 days, accompanied by manual punch-downs. Aging is 14 to 18 months.

Grape varieties

Sciaccarellu (70 %), nielllucciu (20 %) and carcaghjolu neru (10 %).
