Faustine Red Abbatucci from Corsica is a stunning biodynamic red wine, with class and style. Like many such biodynamic wines, (one thinks of Casot de Mailloles or Gut Oggau), Abbatucci’s wines are delightfully fresh in youth and have an acid backbone that makes the mouth water. This is what gives the wine longevity and of course makes it so fresh and drinkable. The flavours of the Faustine Red are unique. Corsica has its own special character, somehow both southern French and Italian at the same time. They make Faustine Red Abbatucci from Nielluccio which is Sangiovese in Corsica. The flavours are similarly sour cherry and red fruits with notes of herbs and leather. With a few years in bottle, this wine takes on a richness and suppleness that fills the mouth and makes you want to keep drinking.
