Nicolas Mariotti Bindi Hors-Série Blanc 2019
Corsica, Sud de France, FranceAfter studying law in Paris, Nicolas decided to make a U-turn and return to his roots in Corsica to live the dream of winemaking. Nicolas set up his winery in Oletta where he organically grows 7 ha of vines on his domaine. These organic Vermentinu (Vermentino) vines are a split between two limestone clay sites: Lumiu, South exposure; and 50% Mursaglia, East exposure. This was native fermented in stainless, where it remained for 1 year prior to bottling, without fining. Pear, white blossoms, pear skin, lemon pith stream along the medium palate, lightly textural, and effortlessly buoyant along a stony base. No boring vermentino here.Tasted: 29 August 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $41.00 | 750ml | consignment |
