What is this wine?
Clos Venturi is a family estate in the heart of Corsica, farming biodynamically at high altitudes in the Haute-Corse. The “Brama” bottling highlights Carcaghjolu Neru, a rare and indigenous Corsican red grape known for its elegance and aromatic intensity. With only a handful of producers working with this grape, Clos Venturi is helping to preserve Corsica’s viticultural heritage while expressing its rugged mountain terroir.

Why get this wine?
This is a rare chance to taste Carcaghjolu Neru—an almost forgotten grape that thrives in Corsica’s granite soils and Mediterranean climate. Clos Venturi, one of the island’s most respected estates, gives the variety the spotlight it deserves. “Brama” is not only distinctive and authentic but also a glimpse into Corsica’s unique wine identity, offering excellent value for such scarcity and craftsmanship.

What does this wine taste like?
Medium-bodied with lifted aromas of red berries, wild herbs, and spice. On the palate, it’s fresh and silky, with notes of tart cherry, pomegranate, Mediterranean scrub, and a gentle earthiness. Lively acidity and fine tannins keep it graceful and food-friendly.

When should you drink this wine?
Perfect for adventurous wine lovers looking to explore indigenous Corsican grapes. Pair it with grilled lamb, charcuterie, or tomato-based Mediterranean dishes. Drink now for freshness, though it will evolve nicely over the next 3–5 years.

More about Clos Venturi

Manu Venturi tends 25 hectares of biodynamic vines on Corsica's highest-altitude vineyard, perched on ancient sandstone and sheltered between two mountain ranges. This geography creates a microclimate and terroir that is utterly unique—neither coastal nor mountainous, but its own thing. The wines are transparent and mineral, a window into sandstone and altitude. This is Corsica without the sea.
