His white Faustine, named in honor of his daughter, is probably the best introduction to his range of unique, world-class wines. This 100% Vermentino is freshly vinified: direct pressing of whole or destemmed grapes. Debourbage static for 24 to 48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled Vats. Aged on lees for 6 months. Fining if necessary and natural tartaric stabilization by chilling. Filtration and bottling.
Pale yellow color with golden highlights. Fresh and aromatic, with scents of white flowers and a hint of aniseed. Delicate on the palate, with progressive aromatic perception and a hint of minerality. It evolves towards petrol-like aromas.
Remarkable for its pale yellow color with golden reflections, it is discovered in the mouth with great delicacy. This wine presents a progressive evolution and aromatic perception. Indeed, it stands out by its dominant aniseed white flower ending with a persistent mineral note.
"Just as Burgundian Chardonnay is known for being sensitive to the nuances of place, Vermentinu yields notably different wines between—and within—the appellations of Corsica. In the granite hills above the capital city of Ajaccio, white wines are among the island’s most delicate, typically featuring gentle floral suggestions and a charming peachiness. Born halfway between mountains and the sea, Jean-Charles Abbatucci’s biodynamically grown Vermentinu also presents a whisper of salinity, making it a lovely apéritif or the ideal match to Mediterranean-inspired antipasti." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
