Discover the grape variety: Gros Cabernet
A very old variety grown in the Bordeaux region, where it originated. It is the result of a natural intraspecific cross between iron and black txakoli, although this has yet to be confirmed, especially as the latter has the same synonym (h)ondarrabi beltza, which is also attributed to cabernet franc. According to genetic analyses carried out in Montpellier (Hérault), gros Cabernet is the mother of carmenère. Almost unknown in other French wine regions, gros Cabernet is no longer replanted and is therefore in danger of disappearing.

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.
The wine region of Corsica
Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, located between the southeast coast of Provence and the west coast of Tuscany. Although it is closer to Italy, Corsica has been under French rule since 1769 and is one of the 26 regions of France. The island's Italian origins are evident in its wines, which are mainly made from the classic Italian Grapes Vermentino and Sangiovese (known here as Rolle and Nielluccio respectively). Despite its remoteness, Corsican winemakers have amassed an impressive and diverse portfolio of grape varieties - there are very few places on earth where Pinot Noir, Tempranillo and Barbarossa grow side by side.
