Characteristics and Tasting Recommendations for Clos Venturi "IP" 2022

Tasting

This cuvée harmoniously blends minerality with an aromatic richness exuding notes of wax, honey, fresh herbs, and verbena.

A lively and well-structured Corsican white wine

The estate

Located in the high-altitude village of Ponte Leccia, the Clos Venturi is one of Corsica’s newest estates, born in the early 2000s from the subdivision of the finest terroirs of 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 white wine, whose IP designation reflects its extended aging, is produced from vines planted on sandstone soils, facing south/southeast at the foot of the slopes.

Vinification and aging

Hand-harvested, the grapes are destemmed before a maceration of about 48–72 hours. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 14 months in concrete vats, then 10 months in stainless steel tanks.

Grape variety

Vermentinu (100%).
