Domaine de Vaccelli - Chioso Novo 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.
Chioso Novo is a single-plot cuvée made from Vermentinu grafted onto old Grenache vines.
Grape variety: Vermentinu
"Chioso Novo Blanc 2023 is a crystalline rendition of Vermentinu. Delicate nose of fresh pear, white flowers, fennel, and citrus zest. On the palate, the saline tension carries pure, vibrant fruit, with a finish of maquis herbs. A Mediterranean white with an almost Burgundian style."
