Details and technical informations about Winery Petra Bianca's Cuvée Prestige.
Discover the grape variety: Aromella
Interspecific crossing between traminette and 34 Ravat obtained in 1976 by Bruce Reisch at the Experimental Station of Cornell University in Geneva (United States). It must be noted that this variety can only be found in a few American wine regions, which means that its multiplication is very limited. In France, it is almost unknown.

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.
The word of the wine: Véraison
A phase in the vegetative cycle of the vine that takes place in summer, usually in August, when the grapes change colour from green to red (for reds) or yellow (for whites). This stage heralds the beginning of ripening.
