• Corsican wines and vineyards

Corsica, a jewellery box of flavours

The island’s vineyards are unlike any other, being the only island vineyards in France and over 2,000 years old. The diversity of soils and sun-drenched hillsides, the maritime influence and the unusual juxtaposition of microclimates draw the silhouette of wines and terroirs on a large part of the island’s territory. Reflect of a strong identity with thousand-year-old roots, grape varieties are  unusual and noble.

Orenga de Gaffory estate

The estate's vineyards are among the oldest in the Patrimonio region. It is planted on hillside plots in five communes in the appellation area. Their soil diversity, ecological mix and microclimatic influence give the cuvées different styles and balances. Close to the Gulf of Saint-Florent, the south-facing vines benefit from sunshine and cleansing sea breezes. Interview with Mr. Henri Orenga de Gaffory.
