Description

Product description for Abbatucci Diplomate d’Empire, Blanc VdF 2022 (bio)

Domaine Comte Abbatucci is one of Corsica’s undisputed flagship estates and currently covers 21 hectares on granite soils. In addition to viticulture, the estate also cultivates olives, fruit, and vegetables, as well as forestry and its own restaurant. Abbatucci began as a kind of ark, preserving the old indigenous varieties in the 1960s and 1970s while modern viticulture switched to international varieties. Since French AOC regulations only permit limited use of these varieties, the wines are marketed exclusively as Vin de France, or “Vin de France” (country wine). The estate operates according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture and is Demeter-certified. The 2023 Faustine Rosé Vielles Vignes is a blend of 90% Sciaccarellu and 10% Barbarossa. The grapes for this wine grow at a good 100 meters above sea level on the granite-rich soils of the valley. Yields are rather low at just under 25 hl/ha. The grapes are harvested early in the morning, destemmed, and pressed immediately. The wine is fermented at 18 degrees Celsius and then aged for five months in stainless steel before being bottled unfined and only lightly filtered.
