🏰 Domaine Comte Abbatucci's 'Diplomate d'Empire' 2021 is a unique and exceptional white wine from Corsica, crafted from a blend of rare indigenous grape varieties including Vermentino, Brustiano, Bianco Gentile, Genovese, and Rossola Bianca. The 2021 vintage is noted for its sunny character, delivering a wine of immense depth and quality. It offers a fragrant nose of honeysuckle, apricots, chopped nuts, thyme, and salted butter, evolving to wild herbs, grapefruit pith, juniper berries, and chamomile. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich, and oily, with intense flavors ranging from stone and tropical fruit layers to flowers and wild herbs, all tied together with a bright and dry minerality. It presents a lively and straightforward attack, well-balanced with an ample, silky texture, coating the palate with spicy notes and fine peppery bitters. 【A lush, round, floral, exotic white wine of immense depth and quality from rare Corsican indigenous grapes】. 🍴 This full-bodied and aromatic white wine is a fantastic match for rich seafood, particularly lobster, crab, and other firm white fish like turbot. It also pairs well with rich creamy cheeses, white-fleshed fish such as carp or barbel, especially with a buttery sauce, or an asparagus risotto. For Eastern cuisine, consider steamed lobster with garlic butter or a rich seafood hot pot. 🥂 'Diplomate d'Empire' 2021 is perfect for a special treat or a gourmet dinner. It's drinking well now but has the potential to age for a long time. Serving it not too cold and after a couple of hours in a decanter is recommended to allow its complex profile to fully express itself. This biodynamically farmed wine is a testament to Corsican viticultural heritage.
