🥂🌸Clos Teddi Grande Cuvée Rosé 2023 and National Rosé Day🥂🌸
🌸Clos Teddi Cuvée Rosé 2023 is more than just a wine, it is a testament to a legacy of courage, dedication and the enduring spirit of family.
🌸Founded by Jo Poli, an Algerian war veteran, at the end of the 1960s, Clos Teddi is situated at the foot of Mount Genova, the highest point in the Agriates region. At 421 meters above sea level, this vineyard represents the culmination of Jo's dream to start anew after a harsh past.
🌸Jo poured his heart and soul into cultivating this neglected land of 40 hectares into a flourishing vineyard. The vines he planted - Niellucciu, Vermentinu, and Sciaccarellu - all Corsican, reflecting the island's rich voticultural heritage.
🌸At just 17 years old, Marie-Brigitte, Jo's daughter, faced an immense challenge after her father passing away: to sell the vineyard or to continue her father's dream. Driven by a strong determination, she chose the last, despite her lack of agricultural knowledge. Her journey was one of learning and perseverance as she restored the vines, professionalized the elaboration process and steadily improved the quality of the wines.
🌸Today, Clos Teddi has become a prestigious name in the Patrimoniu Appellation, in Corsica and beyond. Producing 120.000 bottles annually.
🌸This Grande Cuvée Rosé 2023 stands in the high league of Rosé and clearly amongst the very Bests I had this year.
🌸The wine presents a luminous bright clear pale pink quartz colour with a delicate and vibrant profile with a concentration of floral notes, and citrus fruits. Then follows hints of pink grapefruits, with a mineral developpement and saline finish with pebbles from the sea to flow through the palate with a nice length and an end of palate all in subtility. Elaborated from 75% Niellucciu and 25% Sciacarellu grape varieties.
🌸This is a Wow!! wine. Very elegant with balance, concentration and subtle complexity which makes it a versatile companion for a variety of dishes including for the most gastronomic meals. A beautiful wine. I highly recommend💖💖💖 Happy weekend !!
