Faustine Rouge Vieilles Vignes - 2023 - Jean Charles Abbatucci
Domaine Comte Abbatucci
An expressive, powerful nose, with notes of maquis and black fruits... A complex palate of pepper and spices. A wine driven by its black fruit flavours, generous, clean and precise.

A blended cuvée, made from Sciacarello and Nielluccio, grown on granite sands. The vines are around 20 years old and farmed biodynamically (certified by DEMETER since 2000), with horse ploughing, green cover between the rows, and sheep grazing through the winter. Vinification: hand picking, low yields, destemming, a long maceration (40 days), indigenous yeasts, maturation in vats. Light filtration, sensible use of sulphur.
