Beautiful village of Patrimonio

Patrimonio is the most famous but also the first appellation recognized in Corsica, French island, in the Mediterranean Sea. The AOC covers 400 hectares of vines located on the northern coast of the island around the Gulf of Saint-Florent and at the foot of Cap Corse.

The annual production (15 000 hectoliters per year) is divided into small estates, distributed across a soil which has the specificity of being sheltered from the winds by the nearby mountains, and on which the vines maximize their exposure to sunshine: a Corsican typicity.

The geological quality of the soils, made of chalk and clay, also contributes to the excellent quality of these wines. The massive use of Nielluccio grapes, a local variety, produces sumptuous and full body red wines. They offer aromas of red and black fruits, allied with flavours of spices and vanilla. They drink at their peak within 1-3 years after vintage.

The rosés are colorful, light and fruity. Vermentino is the exclusive grape for white wines. They are dry, rich, elegant and aromatic, with aromas of flower and apple.
