A flagship of modern Corsican winemaking, Clos Venturi has been championing the island’s finest terroirs for the past twenty years—with remarkable success.

Awarded 3 stars by the Revue du Vin de France (RVF)—France’s leading wine magazine—this estate in Piedigriggio is devoted to native grape varieties, farmed with meticulous care using biodynamic practices. Nestled between schist and sandstone soils in a cooler microclimate, Jean-Marc and Manu Venturi focus on precise single-plot selections. Their wines are crafted with elegance and character, aged primarily in concrete eggs, with minimal influence from wood to preserve purity of expression.

These are graceful, seductive wines with real staying power—earning the Venturi family a place among Corsica’s most iconic names, alongside the likes of Canarelli, Abbatucci, and Vaccelli.
