The Clos Venturi winery is located in the small village of Ponte Leccia in the municipality of Morosaglia, about 50 kilometres southwest of the capital Bastia. The wines of François Aquaviva, Jean-Marc and Manu Venturi uniquely combine continental freshness with Mediterranean ripeness, made possible by the exceptional altitude of the vineyards on sandstone, basalt, granite and blue slate. The 2021 Le Clos Blanc is produced purely from 100% Vermentinu.
Color
Brilliant straw yellow with bright green reflections.
Nose
On the nose, the 2021 Le Clos Blanc by Clos Venturi is hedonistic and expansive with rich ripe fruit and Mediterranean herbal spice. Notes of ripe plump pears and cantaloupe melon are complemented by distinctive spicy notes of wild fennel and the sweetness of its pollen. A sprig of broom and some maquis complete the Corsican pleasure.
Mouth
The lush, juicy fruit on the nose is immediately disciplined by the wine's taut structure. Straightforward and almost crystalline, it flows across the palate, fuelled by the broadly stretched ripe acidity. Complex, clear as a bell and stimulating, it is punchy on the palate with lifted tension and rapid drinking flow.
