Domaine ABBATUCCI - Valle di Mare 2019
Located South of Corsica, in the heart of the Taravo Valley and at an altitude of about 100 meters, Domaine Abbatucci is one of the oldest vineyards on the island. Composed mainly of iconic varieties such as Vermentino, Sciacarello or Nielluccio, the 20-hectare estate is home to a unique collection of 18 varieties of endemic varieties that contribute to the preservation of the island’s wine heritage.
The vineyard and vinification techniques are in line with the principles of biodynamics since 2000, with, among other things, only manual harvesting and the use of indigenous yeasts.
Valle di Mare is made from Carcajolo Nero treated with salted water. The wine is vinified in tronconic vats and aged in demi-muids. It is a rare cuvée of 700 bottles, which escaped the flames of the fire which destroyed the hangar (which housed the archives, the tasting room, the aging cellar with the Collection cuvées and the administrative offices) on the 16th June 2021.
Grape variety: 100% Carcajolo Nero
Purchase limited to 1 bottle
