ABBATUCCI FAUSTINE ROSE

Grape: Sciaccarellu
Country: France
Region: Corsica

Jean-Charles Abbatucci’s land is replete with fragrant shrubs and animals roaming among the vines. Jean-Charles took over his family’s domaine in the early ’90s from his father, a botanist specializing in grapevines, who spent his time traveling to remote corners of Corsica in search of native varieties to salvage and propagate.

Named after his daughter, Faustine, Abbatucci’s Rosé is brimming with maquis, the equivalent of mainland France’s garrigue–think myrtle, immortelle, heather, and rockrose. Made from mostly Sciaccarellu grown in solid granite just a twenty minute drive from the Mediterranean Sea, his grapes are infused with seaspray and stone, and the resulting rosé boasts a glistening, sunkissed quality, loaded with sour cherry and pomelo citrus.
Jean-Charles’ motto, referring to his holistic approach to winemaking, points to the extra work and patience required to achieve great wines of place
