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 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).
