Clos Poggiale blanc is made from 100% Vermentino grapes, grown at low yields, with few bunches per vine, perfectly concentrating all the potential that plants can accumulate. This white reveals a nose of great aromatic finesse, with citrus aromas (citron) and notes of wild maquis flowers. A bite-sized piece of Corsica!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Jean-François Renucci took over Clos Poggiale alongside Terra Vecchia, and immediately the wines rediscovered the charm and finesse of the fine vintages of the Skalli era. The terroir suits all three colors, and the desire to showcase the wines on the continent and as far afield as Asia will do Corsican viticulture a world of good.
