⚡🍷 There’s a lot to love about one of the most exciting names to emerge from Corsica in recent years. His Vermentino whites are beautiful and textured, with a driven, salty finish, while his Niellucciu reds are generous, smoky and spicy island w**es, perfect with cured meats, hard cheese and grilled meats.
Le Figaro Vin: “Nicolas Mariotti-Bindi, talented Corsican vigneron. Behind the w**e, there is the magic of Vermentinu, the great white grape variety of the island, capable of revealing the most beautiful terroirs. And the talent of a vigneron who has not finished making people speak about him.”
After studying law in Paris and working in Beaujolais, Nicolas returned to Corsica, honing his w**emaking skills with local legends Antoine Arena and Domaine Leccia. In 2007, he was given the opportunity to farm his first five hectares. Today, the domaine spans 15 hectares across several vineyards in Patrimonio, between the Mediterranean and Corsican mountains.
The vineyards are planted to Niellucciu (Sangiovese) and Vermentinu (Vermentino), producing the premium Nicolas Mariotti-Bindi Vin de France w**es (high-density plantings of 7,600 vines per hectare) alongside the entry-level Cantina di Torra AOP Patrimonio w**es.
Vineyards sit between 50 and 200 metres, with a climate of frosty mornings, early winters and valley humidity. Soils range from Patrimonio’s clay and limestone to alluvial and pebble-rich terroirs. Nicolas farms organically, with minimal soil work and low inputs of copper and sulphur.
In the cellar, whites are whole-bunch pressed, naturally fermented for up to one month and aged for 12 months on fine lees in stainless steel or concrete. They also undergo malolactic fermentation, unusual for Corsica. Reds are destemmed, cold-macerated and naturally fermented, with gentle pumping over to preserve finesse. None of the w**es are filtered.
The w**es are lively, pure and beautifully expressive, delicious young but with the structure to age brilliantly. We recommend taking a few bottles for now and putting some aside for later!
