Domaine de Marquiliani
France | Corsica
In between the spicier “Sauvage” and softer “Douce.”
Domaine de Marquiliani
France | Corsica
From a tiny mill in Corsica’s eastern mountains, Douce is soft and tender; Sauvage is wildly peppery and herbaceous.
Domaine Comte Abbatucci
France | Corsica
If you could taste a Corsican breeze, it might resemble this—herbaceous, gently floral, and pleasantly salty.
Domaine Comte Abbatucci
France | Corsica | Vin de France
A lovely apéritif or the ideal match to Mediterranean-inspired antipasti.
Domaine Comte Abbatucci
France | Corsica | Vin de France
What is there to say about this wine that upon first opening you will be engulfed with aromas of maquis that grows wild all over Corsica. Not to mention the exuberant energy this wine has on the palate.
Yves Leccia
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
You’ll taste the salty sea breeze in this wine.
Clos Canarelli
France | Corsica | Corse Figari
A biodynamic, orange-zesty, multifaceted masterpiece from the most ancient growing region on the island.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Vin de France
A beautiful example of Biancu Gentile, an heirloom white grape revived from near-extinction by Arena in the 1990s.
Jean-Baptiste Arena
France | Corsica | Vin de France
A full-throttle Niellucciu from a sun-soaked limestone vineyard in Patrimonio.
Yves Leccia
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Leccia's earthy, delicious island-mountain wine is fun, accessible and pairs with anything from fish stew to pasta to lounging in the park.
Domaine Giacometti
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
This white, raised in demi-muids with malolactic fermentation, flamboyantly shows off the affinity of ripe Vermentinu grapes with a judicious use of wood.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Vin de France
It’s like Corsican Chablis: pure Vermentinu planted in seashell-encrusted limestone.
Domaine Giacometti
France | Corsica
Not quite Rhône-like and not quite Corsican, this has the best of both worlds, with plenty of palate-staining black fruit to boot.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Vin de France
A beautiful example of Biancu Gentile, an heirloom white grape revived from near-extinction by Arena in the 1990s.

Leccia's earthy, delicious island-mountain wine is fun, accessible and pairs with anything from fish stew to pasta to lounging in the park.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Aromas of black fruit, graphite, wild herbs, and game over firm, stony tannins. Saturated with flavors of the Île de Beauté.
Domaine Comte Abbatucci
France | Corsica | Vin de France
In the granite hills above the capital city of Ajaccio, white wines are among the island’s most delicate.

Just when I think I've seen it all, this wine comes along and surprises me! It's not a typical rosé, nor is it a typical light red wine. Instead, it occupies a wonderful space between the two!
Jean-Baptiste Arena
France | Corsica | Vin de France
Golden ripe Vermentinu berries are responsible for this fleshy, succulent dry white.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica
There is something exotic here, something herbal, quite serious with great tension.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
This is for the adventure seekers. Not because they like to take risks, but because they enjoy the great outdoors and want a wine with character and beauty to enjoy by the campfire.
Jean-Baptiste Arena
France | Corsica | Vin de France
The chalky minerality, the salt sea, the bitter tinge of ripe Vermentino grapes—combine that with fish soup or fish stew and revel in the result.
Antoine Arena
France | Corsica
Bianco Gentile and Vermentinu work so well together in this cuvée we have to wonder if this was the way things were done back in the day.
