The wine region of Figari
AOC in southern Corse-du-Sud (1976), one of the island's oldest vineyards (5th c. BC), granite plain swept by westerly winds, dry Mediterranean climate. Sciaccarellu and Niellucciu are the signature native reds — Sciaccarellu (meaning "crunchy") with red fruits, garrigue, pepper and spiced notes, supple tannins; Niellucciu firmer with black fruits and fleshy tannins. Syrah as a complement.
The wine region of Corsica
Mediterranean island wine region with a triple native face, ~8,000 ha. Niellucciu signature (cousin of Sangiovese) dominates Patrimonio: structured reds with signature notes of black cherry, garrigue, maquis, spices and leather, firm tannins and sun-drenched mouth. Sciaccarellu (min. 60% in Ajaccio) lighter and peppery (strawberry, wild herbs).
