Domaine de Tanella - Suarte Blanc 2023
Domaine de Tanella is located in Figari, in the south of Corsica . Founded at the end of the 19th century, it was taken over in 1975 by Jean-Baptiste de Peretti della Rocca , who passed it on to his children, Alexandra and Marc-Aurèle , representing the fifth generation of winegrowers in the family. The vineyard covers approximately 80 hectares in one piece, planted on granite, clay and stony arena soils. Domaine de Tanella has been certified High Environmental Value (HVE) level 3 since 2019 and also produces farmhouse cheeses from their sheep farm.
Suarte Blanc is made from a selection of Vermentinu plots. The harvest is placed in the press to which dry ice is added for a 4-hour skin maceration. Fermentation begins in concrete vats and continues in demi-muids. The wine is aged for 2 months in demi-muids then 6 months in stainless steel vats , with stirring every day at the start and every 2/3 days depending on the wine's development.
Grape variety: 100% Vermentinu
