Winemaker Notes
Always fresh and saline, with ample body and tuned-up aromatics, this is an aperitivo par excellence and works wonders with anything fresh from the sea as well.

From a seven-acre vineyard of schist and chalk just a couple of miles from the Mediterranean Sea, this vermentino sings in citrus-blossom scents and saline mineral tones. The texture is richer than all that, more green melon and almond, with a spicy kick from the alcohol. Give it a light chill and pair it with rich seafood preparations, like scallops with a toasted-almond sauce.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
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.
