Manu Venturi
Manu Venturi, child of the 1975 vintage, born in Corsica to an oenologist father, is his worthy successor at Domaine Vico and Clos Venturi, in the heart of Haute-Corse. After studying law and business on the mainland, Manu returned to his roots and realized that this was where his life was meant to be. He settled down at Domaine Vico and learned the art of winemaking alongside his father, who passed on his analysis of the plots and, over time, gave him the keys to the estate he had spent 20 years building. In 2005, the two men also created Clos Venturi: atypical, cooler soils and a unique identity. Two different terroirs, but the same approach to both: biodynamics, permaculture, livestock and beekeeping, all with a lot of rural common sense. The proof is in a few words from Manu: "I am convinced that our activity must be positive for our environment, so that the harmony that reigns there allows us to produce wines full of life and balance".
IP stands for Invechjamentu Prolungatu, or prolonged ageing, which gives this cuvée a great complexity of honey, verbena and fresh herbs. The ageing process has left the exuberance of the youth behind, giving way to a sublime minerality. A great wine to open in a few years.
Powerful nose of ripe white fruits, citron, tangerine and maquis flowers. Complex, dense and long on the palate, with a very elegant finish of citrus fruits and aromatic herbs. This always a major bottle, a huge success signed by Venturi.

Fruity and spicy nose, with a dense, supple, and smooth palate, and a long, mineral finish. Hemera is the goddess of daylight in Greek mythology; without the H it also means “broom” in Corsican, a plant characteristic of the maquis that surrounds the vineyard. We love this one!!
