Tasting of the 2021 vintage (white and rosé) and the 2020 vintage (red). Find out all about the estate: Comte Abbatucci
Comte Abbatucci Faustine White 2021
This cuvée is made from a selection of old Vermentino vines from specific plots. A little aromatic gem that blends fruity and floral notes. The Mediterranean influence is ever-present: clementine, apricot, Mediterranean herbs, thyme, briny notes, a hint of aniseed… The wine’s fullness and richness are perfectly balanced by its mineral freshness and delicacy. A marvel!
Comte Abbatucci Faustine Rosé 2021
A blend of Sciaccarellu and Barbarossa, the Faustine Rosé harmonises pleasure with fine dining. The nose reveals subtle notes of citrus, peach and red berries, as well as floral notes and a hint of spice. Following a lively attack, the palate unfolds with a supple, silky texture. A juicy hint of English toffee adds an extra touch of indulgence. Perfect as an aperitif or to accompany grilled meats.
Comte Abbatucci Faustine Red 2020
The estate’s flagship wine, the Faustine cuvée is a wonderful representation of Corsica, harmonious and alluring. Characterised by a cherry colour with ruby highlights, the powerful nose immediately evokes the maquis. From the attack to the finish, this wine is characterised by its beautiful aromatic palette. Aromas of dark fruit with a certain complexity (wild berries from the maquis) with a subtle note of red fruit. It also gives way to flavours of spice and pepper. Supple and crisp tannins.
