2021 Comte Abbatucci, Vin de Corse, Cuvee Collection Diplomate d'Empire Producer_Bittermens resulting in a profile definedA stunning tribute to an Abbatucci ancestor, the Diplomate d'Empire is a dense, rich, and highly textured white wine. It practically coats the palate with a viscous, oily weight, yet retains a brilliant, lip smacking tension. The nose bursts with exotic and stone fruits (mirabelle plum, peach, guava), sweet almond, and chamomile. It finishes with a fascinating spicy, slightly peppery bitterness and a profound maritime minerality.
