{"product_id":"clos-venturi-1769-blanc-24","title":"Clos Venturi \"1769\" Blanc '24","description":"\u003cp\u003eCorsica has a way of producing wines that feel both ancient and vibrantly alive, and few estates capture that duality better than Clos Venturi. The property is located in Haute Corse, near the village of Ponte Leccia, where its vineyards sit at around 400 meters above sea level on a sandstone hill surrounded by forests and mountains. Altitude, mountain winds, and a wide difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures combine to create one of the most distinctive terroirs in the Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Venturi family has farmed in Corsica since the 19th century. Clos Venturi was established during the early 2000s, when Jean Marc Venturi and his son Emmanuel separated a particularly promising 28 hectare vineyard from the family’s larger Domaine Vico property. Today, Emmanuel farms the estate organically and biodynamically, using horses to work the soil and incorporating sheep, chickens, and beehives to encourage biodiversity. The focus remains firmly on Corsican varieties and preserving the raw, untamed character that defines the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “1769” line takes its name from the year of Napoleon’s birth, a playful nod to Corsica’s most famous son, but the wines themselves are all about purity and place. The 2024 Blanc is made entirely from Vermentinu, the Corsican name for Vermentino, grown on south and southeast facing sandstone slopes. The grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed, and given a brief period of skin contact before being gently pressed. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, followed by six months of aging on the fine lees with regular bâtonnage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine opens with aromas of white flowers, peach, pear, citrus peel, and rosemary. The palate has beautiful texture and concentration, balanced by bright acidity and a long, distinctly saline finish. It is both immediately delicious and unmistakably Corsican, capturing the combination of Mediterranean warmth and mountain freshness that makes the island’s white wines so compelling.
