Faustine Vielles Vignes Rosé IGP 2025

Wine Description for Faustine Vielles Vignes Rosé IGP 2025 by Abbatucci

Character

A rosé of extraordinary depth and authenticity, carrying the wild, unmistakable soul of Corsica within it. The designation „Vieilles Vignes“ – old vines – promises a concentration and complexity that far transcends the typical summer rosé. Dry, precise and characterised by a mineral vibrancy that makes this wine a true expression of its origin.

Terroir & Origin

The estate Abbatucci in south-western Corsica, in the region around Ajaccio, ranks among the most significant custodians of Corsican wine culture. The soils of granite and slate, infused with the salty breath of the Mediterranean and cooled by the mountain winds of the island’s interior, lend the wines an unmistakable tension. Jean-Charles Abbatucci manages his vineyard sites according to biodynamic principles – a commitment to the integrity of place that is directly reflected in the glass.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Sciaccarellu is Corsica’s noblest and most distinctive red wine variety – thin-skinned, aromatic, naturally elegant. When vinified as a rosé, it unfolds its full aromatic potential: floral finesse, spicy herbal notes and a silky texture that gains additional complexity through the age of the vines. Vinification at Abbatucci follows a craft-based approach with the aim of preserving purity and varietal expression, without placing technical interventions in the foreground.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This rosé is an ideal companion to Mediterranean cuisine in all its facets. It harmonises beautifully with grilled fish, langoustines and seafood, as well as with rustic Corsican cuisine – such as charcuterie from black Corsican pigs, brocciu cheese or herb-filled omelettes. It also reveals its elegant accompaniment qualities with light pasta dishes with tomatoes and fresh herbs.
