The 2021 Clos Venturi 1769 was my first wine from Corsica in the Grand Tasting of Gerstl on 23 October 2022. I was lucky to meet the producer of Clos Venturi, Eric Mialhe, at this event. Clos Venturi is a winery on the island of Corsica, in the Mediterranean. They apply biodynamic principles. which strengthens the vines so that in hot and dry summer as in 2022, the vines are not stressed too much.
The 2021 Clos Venturi 1769 blanc is made with the Vermentino grape, which makes a very aromatic wine. Straw colour with slight greenish reflexes. In the nose, complex aromas of yellow fruit, quite impressive – apple, pear and quince come to mind. On the palate, the wine is dry, with medium acidity, round and well balanced.
TBM 86 points.
