With a priceless ampelographic collection built up by his father Antoine in the 1960s, Jean-Charles Abbatucci is the guardian of the endemic grape varieties and wine-making traditions of Corsica. This variety of grapes (with melodious names: Carcajolo Bianco, Paga Debbiti, Rossola Brandinca...) coupled with a sumptuous terroir of 14 ha full hillside south of Ajaccio and a demanding viticulture (biodynamic since 2000) explains the special place of Domaine Abbatucci within the Corsican producers. It is with the white wines, certainly among the most beautiful of the Mediterranean basin, that this domain has built up an unequalled reputation.

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

One of the two great vintages of the domain, dominated by vermentino and supplemented by 10 autochthonous grape varieties in varying proportions, is an exceptional wine with good ageing potential (10 years and more): the Diplomate is full-bodied, sapid and tasty but restrained. For this wine the whole aromatic palette of the Corsican scrubland: citrus fruits (citron, kumquat...), verbena, thyme, rosemary, fennel, anise, wild mint, jasmine, pine nuts, dry stones...

One of the two great vintages of the estate, with a dominant vermentino complemented by 10 autochthonous grape varieties in varying proportions, is an exceptional wine with good aging capacities (10 years and more): the General is more lively, its tension going hand in hand with its sparkling length.

Light ruby in color, airy and delicate on the palate, superlative freshness, silky tannins: all the magic of high-altitude sciaccarellu (with a few vines of old autochthonous varieties) is expressed in the Ministre Impérial cuvée, grown on granite soil and picked at optimum ripeness, with an almost Burgundian profile. A great wine!

Monte Bianco, his greatest red wine, with its light ruby colour, its airy and delicate palate, its superlative freshness and silky tannins, offers all the magic of high altitude sciaccarellu on granitic soil and harvested at optimal maturity. A really great wine!

The story of Luca d'Attoma in Tuscany is similar to that of Stéphane Derenoncourt in Bordeaux. First of all, Luca d'Attoma is one of the most famous oenologists in Italy, having worked since 1991 as a consultant in mythical estates such as Tua Rita or Macchiole. In 2000, he decided to create his own vineyard, Duemani, which quickly became a cult in Tuscany (first Italian wine rated 100/100 by Robert Parker). The 7 hectares cover a natural amphitheater 9 km from the Mediterranean, facing west, with soil (clay and stone) very low fertility. The vineyard is fully biodynamic (Demeter).

Suisassi, 100% Syrah, aged in French oak barrels (70% new). An energetic Syrah, at once firm, soft and fresh, in a ripe and rich expression.

The 2016 and 2018 vintages were scored identically by A. Galloni (Vinous): 95/100 for Duemani and 96/100 for Suisassi.
