Seriously rugged and earthy corsican wine. Beautiful in every way. Need to visit this island which produces such lush and lavish vintages. — 9 years ago
best Vermentinu i have ever tasted. typically waxy with saline and iodine underpinnings, balanced by gorgeous acidity, and very aromatic, showing pineapple, crushed rocks, herbs and preserved lemon. this rating is for 2013, but i have also had 2010 recently, which aged beautifully. — 10 years ago
Great white. Zangy and zesty. Slight oak came through. Would recommend — 11 years ago
This is great! Aromatic, supple, mouth filling, textural and long. Seamless acidity. Slurp! — 10 years ago
Patrimonio Blanc Grotte di Sole Vermentinu 2012 — 11 years ago
This is one of those "holy fuck, where did gravity just go?!" wines. 100% Vermentinu Corso made from a Belgian of Sicilian descent, who returned to his island to grow vines and olives. More olives than vines. Any of which are particularly damn good, especially the Frappato -called Nerocapitano. But barring that wine, this is one of the most compelling versions, and perhaps clones, of Vermentino I have ever tasted. Not as oxidative than the 2013, also seems to have less skin contact, but I'm pretty sure it's only 48 hours, identical to the prior vintage. But its pristine! And senza chemica. The nose and palate transport me to a magical, far away land that I've never visited, but I cannot wait to go there. — 9 years ago
