Rocc'Azura Blanc 2022 - Domaine Mondange 75cl

Rocc'Azura is a white wine from the Vin de Corse AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) made from the Vermentinu grape variety. This wine is an authentic reflection of its terroir, where the rare azurite, a stone carried by the Fiumorbu River, gives a unique dimension to the plot.

The vines, averaging 20 years old, are cultivated using the Royat cordon pruning method, with a controlled yield of 40 hectoliters per hectare. Harvesting is done manually in the early morning, and the grapes are then placed in a cold room for 24 hours to preserve their freshness.

Vinification begins with direct pressing of the whole grapes, followed by settling at a low temperature (10°C). Alcoholic fermentation, which takes place between 16 and 18°C, takes place partly in stainless steel vats and in tulip-shaped concrete vats, thus providing aromatic complexity. Aging on fine lees lasts 12 months, with one part in stainless steel and the other in tulip-shaped concrete, which enriches the wine with texture and flavors.

Rocc'Azura stands out for its freshness and elegance. It is recommended to serve it between 10 and 12°C, ideal for accompanying dishes such as poultry terrine, vegetables, pork, raw fish, or even mature cheeses. This wine lends itself to a harmonious dialogue with refined dishes, while highlighting the richness and diversity of Corsican cuisine.
