The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Almost without rival and awarded three stars in the prestigious French wine guide the RVF, Yves Canarelli presides over some of Corsica’s finest vineyards. Since his first vintage in 1997, this relentless perfectionist has continually pushed forward, cultivating nearly 40 hectares in Figari and Bonifacio under biodynamics and championing native grape varieties that best capture both his vision and his terroir.

Widely regarded as one of the island’s leading figures, he produces wines that rank among the Mediterranean’s most spectacular, defined by a freshness and saline edge that remain unmatched. His range is faultless, writing some of the finest chapters in Corsican wine today.
Wine Vinified in clay amphora, the 2023 Red Amphora Vin de France blends niellucciu, sciaccarellu, minustellu, carcaghjolu and moresconu. Fresh and delicately perfumed, it offers aromas of dark fruits, spice and violet. On the palate, the structure is tight and energetic, with no lack of depth, carried by supple tannins and above all a power that remains perfectly under control.
Vinification Hand harvested from granite plots, vinified in a clay amphora and matured for 3 months in stainless steel vats. No added sulphur, fining or filtration.

Certified organic and biodynamic wine. (not mentioned on the back of the label)
