The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Acclaimed as one of Corsica’s best estates, awarded 3 stars in the famous RVF Guide, Yves Canarelli watches over the most beautiful terroirs of the Island of Beauty. He has been cultivating his 33 hectares of wine with a biodynamic approach since 1997. Located in the sectors of Figari and Bonifacio, drawing from the 40 or so Corsican grape varieties to find the ones best suited for his terroir and taste, the estate is known to craft wines of absolute precision and style. 


This exemplary winemaker has crafted some of the most spectacular Grands Crus of the Mediterranean arc, wines of unparalleled freshness and salinity. He has without a doubt raised the bar of Corsican viticulture, bringing it to new standards and marking it as an unmissable terroir for any wine lover or collector.
Wine With its particular style, far from the Provencal archetypes, the 2021 Corsican Figari Rosé wine has a strong identity. It is a rosé of substance, broad and tonic, with richness, texture, and aromas of fresh citrus and juicy white fruits. One will appreciate its full-bodied dimension and great finesse. On the list of the greatest rosés of Corsica! It will be perfect paired with baked fish or pan-fried prawns.
