A family and heritage legacy

Anchored in the Taravo Valley, this family estate continues a saga initiated in the 19th century. Antoine Abbatucci laid the foundations of a conservatory of native grape varieties in the 1960s, which Jean-Charles and his daughter Faustine are now expanding through biodynamics.

A conservatory of rare grape varieties in biodynamics

On 18 hectares of granite slopes exposed at 100 meters altitude, the estate cultivates 18 native Corsican grape varieties (Nielluccio, Sciaccarello, Vermentino, Barbarossa...) according to the strict principles of biodynamics (horse plowing, sheep herd, indigenous yeasts).

Style: purity, finesse, expression of the maquis

The wines reveal elegantly contrasted characters: floral and saline freshness for the whites, fine tannic structure and fruity intensity for the reds, a typically Corsican aromatic universe marked by spices, myrtle, and immortelle.
