Sergio's Pick

Established in 2005 by Jean-Marc and Emmanuel Venturi, Clos Venturi is a terroir-driven estate located on an isolated sandstone hill 400 meters above sea level in the rugged interior of central Corsica. By pairing a contrasting continental microclimate with minimal-intervention winemaking, they produce vibrant, mineral-rich wines.

'1769' Blanco is crafted from 45-year-old Vermentinu vines planted on high-altitude sandstone slopes in the interior of Corsica, where the unique mountain-island terroir imparts a distinct mineral edge. On the palate, this organic white wine delivers a vibrant concentration of pink grapefruit, crisp green apple, and wild rosemary, balanced by a high, structural acidity. It concludes with a bone-dry, precision-focused finish marked by a signature hint of refreshing island salinity.
