GRAPE VARIETIES

AN EXCEPTIONAL WINE HERITAGE
Corsica conceals a real natural treasure trove, with no less than 33 grape varieties with unexpected and melodious names that provide an instant impression of otherness. The typicity of Corsican wines is rooted in the deep soul and compatibility with the island of these native grape varieties. In this refined mosaic, six of them stand out and are recognised as being the most widespread in Corsica: Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Vermentinu, Aleaticu, Biancu Gentile, and Muscat Petits Grains.
