The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Nearly unrivaled, with 3 stars in the RVF Guide, Yves Canarelli oversees the finest terroirs of Corsica. Since his first vintage in 1997, this unwavering perfectionist has continually improved and sought the ideal path, cultivating nearly 40 hectares biodynamically in Figari and Bonifacio, and selecting the most suitable endemic grape varieties for his taste and terroir.

This exemplary winemaker produces some of the most spectacular grand crus in the Mediterranean arc, with unmatched fresh and saline expressions, thus writing some of the finest chapters in Corsican viticulture with an impeccable range.
Wine A faithful ambassador of the House style, the 2021 red Figari Corse has everything to please. The flavors of the fruit are intense and refined, with slightly smoky notes of black fruit and delicate tannins. It's a fresh, elegant wine with persistent energy. With great balance, this is a great Corsican red, both digestible and complex.
Vinification Hand-harvested, totally de-stemmed. Aged 18 months in foudres and demi-muids.
