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.
Wine Pure vermentinu produced on granite, aged in tuns and demi-muids without new wood, the 2022 white Figari Corse is an elite wine! Dynamic and fresh, this elegant white offers beautiful white fruit aromas, a delicate texture, a full-bodied texture, and fatness. It's simply delicious, with subtle precision, and deserves to be served with grilled fish or, more simply, fresh cheeses. At the summit of the Isle of Beauty.
Vinification Hand harvested, aged 6-8 months in foudre and demi-muid, on lees.

Certified organic wine. (not mentioned on back label).
