Faustine Vieilles Vignes Blanc
Freshness and wild fruit, with great sapidity! Made from a selection of 40 year old Vermentino vines, with low yields (25 hl/ha). The grapes are picked at full maturity, only in the morning, in small crates and pressed immediately. Aged in stainless steel tanks.
Remarkable for its pale yellow colour with golden reflections, it opens up delicately on the palate.
This very fat wine presents a progressive evolution and aromatic perception. Indeed, it stands out for its dominant aniseed flavour, then white flowers, ending with a persistent mineral note.
Fresh and aromatic, it can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with fish, shellfish or cheese.

The Estate Comte Abbatucci
In the Taravo valley, not far from Propriano, the Comte Abbatucci estate continues to shine through its contribution to the revaluation of Corsican native grape varieties. Jean-Baptiste Abbatucci, a biodynamist, implements his father's passion as an ampelographer by cultivating the soils naturally (biodynamics since 2000) in order to restore the natural brilliance of all the Corsican grape varieties of yesteryear.
The 18 hectares of the Comte Abbatucci estate are planted mainly with vermentino, sciacarello and niellucio grapes, mainly for the Faustine cuvées, and supplemented by a dozen or so old grape varieties reserved for the estate's top-of-the-range cuvées.
These three famous cuvées, named General, Minister and Diplomat, were named in homage to the family's political and military ancestors. All the cuvées of the estate, from the Faustine cuvée onwards, are of remarkable aromatic complexity, developing aromas that are typical of the Corsican maquis, immortelle and myrtle to name but two, perfectly reflecting the Corsican terroir and its very singular personality.
Discover now these magnificent vintages of the Comte Abbatucci estate, representing the identity of the wines of the island of Beauty that you will accompany with delicatessen, cheese, seafood according to the chosen vintage. Enjoy and taste these wines in moderation.
