Discovering the wine region of Figari

The Figari Vin de Corse is produced under the appellation Vin de Corse de Corse, more precisely in the villages of the southern tip of the island, between the communes of Monacia d'Aullene and Sartene. The Generic appellation Vin de Corse is divided into several sub-regions, corresponding to five major wine-producing areas: Porto-Vecchio, Sartene, Calvi, Cap Corse and Figari itself. The vineyards of Figari are located in the plains between the high peak of Punta d'Ovace in the west and the low hills above Figari. This is where the topography of the island is most relaxed.

It is in the lowlands between Figari and Porto-Vecchio (and the fertile coastal plains further North) that the majority of Corsican agriculture is found. Corsican wine Figari wines are red, white and rosé, with rosé accounting for about half of the total production. Reds account for most of the rest, but a small amount of white wine is also produced. The main Grape varieties used for reds and roses are Grenache, Nielluccio and Sciaccarello, plus the traditional Corsican varieties Aleatico, Barbarossa, CarcajoloNero and Minustello (Graciano), as well as Mourvedre, Cinsaut and Carignan from southern France.

Andrew Jefford: ‘Arresting and generous, but without vulgarity or excess’

Layers of colour in the sky before me: indigo, peach, salmon. In the rear-view mirror, the gold was catching fire. As I drove down through the lonely, Mistral-chilled vines of Babeau-Bouldoux towards nearby St-Chinian, I was thinking about what Christine Deleuze of Clos Bagatelle had just said. ‘When you came to visit 10 years ago,’ she reminded me, ‘you said we needed to wait another decade for a market breakthrough. Today you’ve said we need to wait another decade or two. So when, exactly, wil ...
