Domaine de Vaccelli - White 2023
Domaine de Vaccelli is located in Cognocoli-Monticchi , Corsica . The family estate was purchased in the 1960s by the Courrèges family, after Algerian independence. Its owner, Gérard Courrèges (son of Alain Courrèges), has been producing wines under the AOC Ajaccio, Vin de Pays de l'Île de Beauté and Vin de France appellations since the 1970s. Today, the vineyard covers 27 hectares planted with numerous grape varieties, a large proportion of which are indigenous grape varieties . The vineyard has been managed using certified organic farming methods since 2019.
Vaccelli Blanc is made from Vermentinu grown on granite sandstone hillsides. The wine is aged in egg and demi-muid barrels.
Grape variety: 100% Vermentinu
"Vaccelli Blanc 2023 opens with a subtle bouquet of ripe citrus, wild fennel, and warm stone. Its mouthfeel, taut and ample, reveals a beautiful salinity and a slightly aniseed finish. The aging in egg and demi-muids gives it momentum and a rare relief."
