2024 Domaine de Vaccelli, Sirocco, Ajaccio Blanc 750ml

Sirocco is 100% Vermentino fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. The wine is then aged for 11 months on its fine lees in 600L barrels before being brought back into tank for a month before bottling. The domaine is now 20 hectares in size, all vineyard work is done by hand, and as of 2008, all vineyard work is organic. Average vine age is over 30 years, yields are kept small, around 30 to 40 hl/ha, and under 7,000 cases are produced a year. In the cellar, only native yeast is used during vinification, which occurs in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in, or in a combination of, stainless steel tanks, barrique, 600L demi-muids, and concrete eggs on the lees without bâtonnage. The wines are never fined. A light filtration may occur depending on the vintage. The vineyard became certified organic in 2019.
