Winemaker Notes
Nice straw color with green hues. The nose expresses floral and fresh notes. The taste is aromatic and powerful with a nice touch of acidity on the finish. A Vermentino with a strong personality.

This mineral-textured wine is produced from Corsica’s main white grape, Vermentinu. Bright acidity and crisp, clear lemon flavors are lifted by a perfumed character typical of the grape. The wine is ready to drink.
A fantastic, aromatic white grape that grows with great success in Sardinia, Tuscany and in lesser proportions on the island of Corsica. Somm Secret—Vermentino is thought to be genetically identical to Liguria’s Pigato grape and Peidmont’s Favorita. It comprises a large proportion of the whites in southern France where it is called Rolle.
A mountainous, Mediterranean island covered in vineyards, Corsica, while closer to Italy in proximity and history, is today under France's political jurisdiction. The island is home to a mix of Italian and French grapes, typically planted at high elevations. Niellucciu (Sangiovese), Sciacarellu (Mammolo), and Vermentino (Rolle) are the main grape varieties of Corsica, and account for about two thirds of all Corsican wines produced.
