Description
Comte Abbatucci’s Faustine Blanc is made from a selection of old Vermentino vines from specific plots. An aromatic gem that blends fruity and floral notes. The Mediterranean character 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!
