2021 Clos Venturi Vin de Corse 'Brama' Syrah, Corsica, France
$34.99
Clos Venturi is a 28-hectare plot of land in the center of Corsica, located near the commune of Piedigriggio. The particularity of their terroir lies in its very varied geology and climate. It is a sandstone hill in the middle of a small valley totally preserved and wild. This atypical geological zone is called the central fault of Corsica; it is a hill of ancient sandstone dating from the Miocene laid on a 100 million more recent magmatic zone. Plots are a mosaic of any soil found in Corsica.
The median altitude of the vines are between 400 and 480 meters but the surrounding mountains exceed 2000 meters. This original location makes it the Corsican terroir farthest from the sea and the highest in elevation - this placement makes for an ideal climatology, combining continental freshness and southern maturity.
