Now is a good time to pay close attention to Corsican reds. We should all be drinking more wines from Corsica and not only because they represent a real wine value in today's marketplace. They are wonderful examples of a very unique terroir and in some cases rather obscure grape varieties. Located at the southern tip of Corsica is the Corse Figari appellation and here winemaker Yves Canarelli crafts elegant and soulful wines from traditional varietals like Vermentino, Nielluccio, and Scaicarello. Muscat a Petit Grain and Syrah can also be found here. This Corse Figari red is a blend of mostly Niellucciu, plus a small amount of Syrah and Sciaccarellu, fermented and vinified in large oak for 14 to 18 months. *Biodynamic*
