Tasting notes: Nose with notes of grapefruit peel, white flowers, a hint of minerality... Equally elegant on the palate, the richness of Vermentino is perfectly balanced by a saline aromatic, nice length.

Let us set the scene for you: Domaine Giacometti is nestled in a dreamlike setting! In the heart of the Agriate Desert, very close to the Gulf of Saint-Florent, Sarah & Simon (brother and sister) are now taking over the reins of this three-generation family estate. The Agriate Desert, which is anything but deserted, has been part of the Patrimonio AOC since 1987 - the AOC itself dates back to 1968. It is characterized by granite soil and a basin-like morphology that allows it to retain water underground and let the wind rush through. The wines are sunny and incredibly juicy, with a good dose of freshness! ☀️
