Domaine ABBATUCCI - Faustine Rosé 2021
Domaine Abbatucci is located in the south of Corsica , in the heart of the Taravo Valley and at an altitude of about 100 meters, 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 eighteen varieties of endemic varieties that contribute to the preservation of the island's wine heritage. The vineyard and vinification techniques have been in line with the principles of biodynamics since 2000, with, among other things, only manual harvesting and during vinification, only native yeasts are used.
Faustine Rosé is made from Sciaccarello grown on granite arenas facing north and northwest. Jean-Charles Abbatucci works on biodynamics with the influence of phytotherapy practices: horse plowing and mastery of winter weeding with his flock of sheep. The hand-picked grapes are then meticulously sorted and pressed directly into scraped grapes. After static deburring for 24 to 48 hours, the fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks . Aging on fine lees lasts 6 months .
Grapes: 100% Sciaccarello
