Corsica
Corsica, an island of beauty bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, is a unique wine-growing region in France.
This mountainous island of spectacular scenery enjoys a warm, sunny climate, tempered by sea breezes, providing ideal conditions for growing vines. Corsica is distinguished by its terraced vineyards, often perched on steep slopes overlooking the sea, creating a breathtaking viticultural landscape.
Today, the region boasts 9 appellations d'origine contrôlée (AOC), the most famous of which are Patrimonio, Ajaccio and Figari. These appellations highlight the diversity of soils - mainly granite, schist and clay - offering a wide range of wine profiles, from intense reds to aromatic whites and fresh, structured rosés.
Muriel Giudicelli is one of the leading figures in Corsican viticulture. Based in the Patrimonio appellation, she has earned a reputation for her biodynamic viticulture, which respects the terroir and the environment. Its cuvées are a perfect reflection of the island's winegrowing identity. Among them is Luna Nera, a red from the Niellucciu grape variety, which seduces with its silky structure, black fruit aromas and spicy notes, evoking the bewitching scents of Corsican maquis. This cuvée captures the essence of the Patrimonio terroir, with a depth and elegance that reflect Muriel's passion for her island and its vineyards.
Corsica, with its rich wine-growing heritage and singular island culture, continues to seduce wine lovers in search of authenticity. Thanks to passionate winemakers like Muriel Giudicelli, this land of contrasts sublimates its native grape varieties, offering natural, expressive wines deeply rooted in their terroir.
