2022 Domaine de Vaccelli, Campo di Magna, Ajaccio Blanc 750ml

The Campo di Magna is 100% Vermentino from vines planted in 1964 by Nathalie and Gérard's grandfather, and top-grafted in 2018. Insanely complex nose, notes of candied lemon, white flowers, mineral backbone. The palate is very powerful with lots of volume and structure that will reward near-term patience in the cellar.

The domaine is now 20 hectares in size, all vineyard work is done by hand, and as of 2008, all vineyard work is organic. Average vine age is over 30 years, yields are kept small, around 30 to 40 hl/ha, and under 7,000 cases are produced a year. In the cellar, only native yeast is used during vinification, which occurs in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in, or in a combination of, stainless steel tanks, barrique, 600L demi-muids, and concrete eggs on the lees without bâtonnage. The wines are never fined. A light filtration may occur depending on the vintage. The vineyard became certified organic in 2019.
