"A real treat that calls for spicy cuisine".
A Mandria blanc releases fresh, subtle aromas of white flowers, citrus and pear. The palate is mineral, almost saline, with long-lasting aromas. Its Mediterranean character makes it a perfect match for seafood.

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 :
Christophe Ferrandis is a courageous and determined artisan winemaker. In his uncomfortable doll's cellar, he produces wines of character, typical of their area and vinified in a well-understood organic spirit. They need two to three years in bottle. Let's hope he'll soon have a working tool to match his efforts.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2023) 91/100 (Vintage 2020)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Originally from Marseilles, Christophe Ferrandis trained at Château de Pibarnon (Bandol) and moved to the village of Poggio d'Oletta near Saint-Florent in 2002. He makes his wine in a cramped former sheepfold, but plans to build a new winery. His vineyard faces Domaine Leccia in Morta Piana. Yields are low, the vines are grown organically and harvested in small crates. The concentrated, extracted style of the early years is evolving towards greater finesse. Suitable for excellent ageing, the reds are more harmonious, particularly the Clos Signadore cuvée and A Mandria, produced in all three colors. Inizia is a new cuvée for the trade.
