Description

There’s a new sheriff in town at the domaine, the transition from father to daughter having been completed. We’ve seen a slight reworking of the label— now more elegant and refined—as well as a lighter, feminine touch to the wines. Sulfur levels have dropped, studies are under way for a future biodynamic conversion, and precision in the wines never ceases to rise. This wine has long been a personal favorite, as there’s no better Corsican bang for your buck out there. It is fresh, salty, and citrusy all at once, an instant crowd pleaser that I proudly pour to show off what Corsica can do. It’s no surprise that a recent (and spot-on) New York Times article on Corsican wines gave this one special praise.

The 2010 Calvi Blanc E Prove (100% Vermentino) will undoubtedly work well with grilled fish or shellfish. Produced from granite soils high in the foothills of Monte Grossu mountain in Corsica, this wine impressed me with its richness, length and distinctive style. It possesses copious lemon zest notes intermixed with hints of orange rind and spring flowers. Crisp, medium-bodied and nicely concentrated, it is best drunk over the next year. ”
