Nicolas Mariotti Bindi
Corsica, France
All great accomplishments start off with a dream and Nicolas Mariotti-Bindi’s is living proof of this. After studying law in Paris, Nicolas decided to make a U-turn and return to his roots in Corsica to live the dream of winemaking.
However nothing predestined him to pursue a career in winemaking: “I don’t come from a winemaking family” he often likes to remind us. And yet, in 2007, he successfully produced his first vintage. With passion and above all, perseverance, Nicolas set up his winery in Oletta. Today, he organically grows 7 ha of vines on his domaine. Each plot of vines is worked with the intention of producing a matchless wine, unique to its terroir. Vinification is natural, only small doses of SO2 are used and indicated on the label. The vineyards are worked with respect for the land, ploughing is kept to the minimum necessary to enable the soil to regenerate in winter and to prevent any erosion.

Nicolas Mariotti Bindi
Mursaglia Blanc
After studying law in Paris, Nicolas decided to make a U-turn and return to his roots in Corsica to live the dream of winemaking. Nicolas set up his winery in Oletta where he organically grows 7 ha of vines on his domaine. These organic Vermentinu (Vermentino) vines are from the 1ha Mursaglia vineyard’s clay limestone soils, facing east. This was native fermented in stainless, where it remained for 1 year prior to bottling, without fining or filtration, and with minimal SO2 throughout. Pouring a deeper yellow hue, this fuller white is rich and concentrated with white honey, ripe pear and pear blossom across an expansive palate. The concentration is easily countered by a buzzing limestone acidity, holding things fresh and aloft. Striking white, drinking smartly now, and with time ahead.
