Clos Signadore - Patrimonio A Mandria blanc 2022
91/100
RVF
“A real treat that calls for spicy cuisine”
This white Mandria exudes fresh, subtle aromas of white flowers and citrus, along with hints of pear. On the palate, it is mineral, almost briny, with a lovely lingering finish. Its Mediterranean character pairs beautifully with seafood.

Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
A courageous and determined artisan winemaker, Christophe Ferrandis produces wines full of character in his cramped, cramped cellar—wines that are typical of their terroir and crafted with a well-understood commitment to organic principles. They need two to three years of bottle aging. Let’s hope he soon has a facility that does justice to his efforts.

About the estate:
Originally from Marseille and trained at Château de Pibarnon (Bandol), among other places, Christophe Ferrandis settled in 2002 near Saint-Florent in the village of Poggio d’Oletta. He currently vinifies in cramped quarters in a former sheepfold but plans to build a new winery. His vineyard faces the Leccia estate in Morta Piana. Yields are low, the vineyard is organically farmed, and the grapes are harvested in small crates. The concentrated, extract-driven style of his early years is evolving toward greater finesse. Suitable for excellent aging, the reds are more harmonious, particularly the Clos Signadore and A Mandria cuvées, produced in all three varieties. Inizia is a new merchant-produced cuvée.
