Clos Fornelli Genovese Chiosu Blanc 2024
Genovese is one of Corsica's rarest indigenous white grapes, with only a few dozen hectares left on the entire island. Clos Fornelli, the Vanucci-Couloumère family estate in the commune of Tallone on Corsica's eastern coast, farms it organically on clay-schist and gravelly soils that face the Tyrrhenian Sea. Hand-harvested, fermented with native yeasts, and bottled without fuss, this is dry, mineral, and floral all at once, with a faint salty edge that reminds you the vines aren't far from the water. A real find for drinkers who want something different from the usual Mediterranean whites.
