Domaine Comte Abbatucci
The Domaine Comte Abbatucci is run by Jean-Charles Abbatucci. Located in southern Corsica, in the Taravo valley (near the prehistoric site of Filitosa), Domaine Comte Abbatucci extends over 18 hectares of granite arena slopes.

A passionate winegrower, Jean-Charles Abbatucci practices flawless biodynamic viticulture and is constantly developing his techniques to get as close as possible to nature and learn to listen to it better, so as to be able to restore the quintessence of each terroir and grape variety, of which he has an incredible and rare collection. This method helps the soil and plants to regenerate: work periods are chosen according to lunar cycles and the time of day. It uses plant- and mineral-based preparations. The Domaine Comte Abbatucci vineyards produce healthy, well-balanced grapes from living soil, which, once vinified, convey all the aromas of the Corsican maquis.

Domaine Comte Abbatucci offers three-color wines in the Ajaccio appellation and Vin de table de Corse, whose quality and character are a tribute to the special terroirs to be found in Corsica. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, and only indigenous yeasts are used in the vinification process.

"A plot-based cuvee that expresses the specific characteristics of the terroir and of this Corsican grape variety".

Monte Bianco red comes from a plot selection specific to its terroir. The nose is powerful and intense, evoking aromas of strawberry and morello cherry, as well as plants from the Corsican maquis. On the palate, we find the same aromatic palette as on the nose. Slightly toasted and suave, its tannins are fine and silky. A gourmet finish! (Limited quantities)

"An emblematic cuvée of the Domaine!

A unique blend of 7 almost-forgotten Corsican grape varieties, this cuvée bears the name of Jacques-Pierre-Charles Abbatucci, Imperial Minister and friend of Napoleon III, who deserved the tribute of this wine, a blend of red fruits and sweet spices, offering fatness and very supple tannins. It's sure to please today, but its 15-year ageing potential will reveal many secrets... (Limited quantities)

A pale yellow color with golden highlights precedes the fresh, aromatic nose of this pretty white, with scents of white flowers and a hint of aniseed. The palate is full-bodied, with progressive aromatic development and perception, accompanied by a hint of minerality on the finish... To be savored!

This carefully-crafted rosé reveals subtle aromas of citrus and red fruit. A silky, supple wine on the palate, with a hint of English candy, dominated by peach and apricot, discreet and delicate. It's the rosé for sunny days! In addition to fish, it goes wonderfully well with Corsican charcuterie and, of course, grilled meats...
