Clos Venturi Brama Biancu Gentile
A rich white wine bursting with tropical fruit, apricot, and pear, balanced by a mineral edge
Clos Venturi `Brama` Biancu Gentile from Corsica, France, is a captivating still white wine. This dry wine, crafted from Biancu Gentile grapes, undergoes an eight-day cool pre-fermentation skin maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts in egg-shaped concrete tanks, followed by eight months of lees ageing with bâtonnage. It offers a rich texture, brimming with aromas of ripe apricot, pear, and tropical fruits, complemented by subtle almond hints. The palate reveals a mineral edge and lifted acidity, leading to a long finish. Certified organic, vegan, and vegetarian, it pairs beautifully with poultry or rich fish.

Vinification
Upon arrival at the winery, the hand-harvested Biancu Gentile grapes were 100% destemmed and gently pressed in a pneumatic press. A cool pre-fermentation maceration on the skins lasted for eight days to extract maximum aromatics. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts took place in egg-shaped concrete tanks. Following fermentation, the wine was matured on its lees for eight months with weekly bâtonnage to add texture to the palate. Unfined, the wine was cold settled and lightly filtered before bottling.
Flavour profile
