    Information
    About the producer

    Perched 100m high in the Taravo Valley in southern Corsica lies Jean-Charles Abbatucci's 20 hectares of vines. Founded in the 1920s by Jacques Abbatucci, this is one of the oldest domains on the island. An incredible 18 different native grape varieties are cultivated: besides the famous Vermentino, Sciacarello and Nielluccio, Jean-Charles has a mosaic of endemic varieties planted in his vineyards that few others can lay claim to (Aleatico, Carcajolo Nera, Minustello, Morescola, Morescono, Montanaccia…). The domain has a biodynamic approach and the vineyards are laid to grass. A flock of sheep graze amongst the vines during winter and harvests are always carried out by hand. In the chai, vinification is a “hands off' affair and the resulting wines are prized for their finesse, elegance and freshness. A true touchstone of wines from this fascinating region.

    About the wine

    The Aleatico grape variety native to Tuscany is characterised by the pronounced colour and aromatic intensity of the wines it produces. In France, Corsican winemakers particularly value it for its fertility and its ability to thrive in warm, dry soils. Domaine Comte Abbatucci has sought to bring this native grape back into fashion while maintaining practices that respect the vines and the soil. This is why the winemaker cultivates his vines using biodynamic methods. The harvested grapes are vinified with as little intervention as possible and aged for several months in stainless steel vats.
    The deep red colour reveals delicate aromas of muscat and rose petals. Intense cocoa aromas balance beautifully with a slight sweetness on the palate, leading to a fresh, creamy finish.
