The 2021 Domaine Vico Les Parcellaires A Mina Blanc Vermentinu is a distinctive and terroir-driven Corsican white sourced from a single hillside vineyard overlooking the site of an old copper mine in Ponte-Leccia. Made from 100% Vermentinu and farmed biodynamically, the wine reflects the unique blue schist and basalt soils of this remarkable site. The nose is expressive and complex, offering aromas of ripe pear, white peach and citrus blossom, layered with notes of wild herbs, fennel and subtle saline minerality.
On the palate, it is vibrant and beautifully textured, with flavours of orchard fruits, lemon zest and Mediterranean herbs supported by lively acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Fermentation and ageing in concrete eggs add depth and texture, while the finish is long, fresh and savoury. Elegant yet powerful, this is a serious expression of Corsican Vermentinu with excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers who enjoy premium Mediterranean whites with texture, minerality and a strong sense of place. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to evolve over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with lobster, grilled fish, prawns, scallops, Mediterranean seafood dishes or soft goat’s cheese.
