2025 Domaine Comte Abbatucci Ile de Beauté Blanc "Faustine"
Produced from 40-year-old Vermentino vines cultivated biodynamically for over 20 years on granite soils in the hills above Ajaccio, Corsica. Jean-Charles Abbatucci's Faustine Vieilles Vignes reveals the purity of this grape variety and the finesse of its Mediterranean terroir. The wine is vinified gently and aged 6 months on lees, developing a delicate texture and complexity. Just as Burgundian Chardonnay expresses nuance of place, Vermentinu from Ajaccio's granite hills produces some of the island's most refined whites, with characteristic salinity born from its position between mountains and sea.
