About this product
A Vermentino white from Ajaccio's granite hillsides — Corsica's answer to Sardinia's Vermentino di Gallura. Pale gold with intense aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, almonds, maquis herbs, sea breeze, and the distinctive bitter almond finish that marks Corsican Vermentino. Fermented at low temperatures for maximum aromatic retention. Fresh, saline, and intensely Mediterranean — a wine that tastes like sunshine on granite.
