Vintage Character From the dramatic heights of the Vin de Corse appellation, the 2020 Clos Venturi Blanc is a compelling expression of Corsica's rugged interior. The 2020 vintage experienced optimal, warm, and dry growing conditions, yielding highly concentrated fruit that remains balanced by the natural freshness of the region's high-altitude vineyards. Grown on unique sandstone and clay-limestone soils near Ponte-Leccia, the vines benefit from drastic diurnal temperature variations, imparting a distinct tension and pure, mineral-driven character to the wine.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This Vermentino opens with vibrant aromas of lemon blossom, citrus zest, and white peach, underscored by notes of wet stone and a hint of coastal salinity. The palate is medium-bodied and texturally refined, showcasing bright green apple flavors and a crisp, saline finish driven by medium-high acidity. It pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass seasoned with fennel, or a classic herb-roasted chicken.
