From our importer: Located high and deep in Corsica’s forested interior, Clos Venturi exists on a isolated sandstone hill, between two mountain ranges in the high altitude village of Ponte Leccia, at the crossroads to Bastia, Ajaccio and Calvi. Manu Venturi, a native Corsican with deep roots to the area has spent the last seventeen years building upon the heroic work of his father, Jean-Marc to make light on this special terroir and preserve the beauty and biodiversity of his Island.

His 25 hectares of vines are interplanted with 19 different native Corsican varieties surrounded by scrubby forest. The property is pristine, from an almost religious approach to biodynamic agriculture to their meticulous organization of the sheep, chickens, horses, and cows that coexist on the hill. The results are wines that enchanted us with their layered texture, freshness and extraordinary aromatic intensity, evoking the heady scents of the Corsican maquis - a mix of eucalyptus, juniper, rosemary, yellow immortelle, myrtle, sage, mint, thyme and lavender.

From the winemaker: My philosophy is the same everywhere: high environmental value, organic agriculture, biodynamic agriculture, permaculture, breeding, bee-keeping ... I made these choices for the preservation of my island, my land, the men and women who live there and, more globally, the planet. I am not a utopian, nor an esoteric dogmatic, I am simply a farmer in love with nature and every day I work on this alchemy, I try to observe it, understand it and accompany it simply to pay homage to it. This makes me and my wines better, if not better, then at least consistent with what we are and what our land expresses. - Manu Venturi
