Corsicans are fiercely proud of their gastronomic and viticultural heritage and want vistors to the Granite Isle to enjoy its many delicacies, which include sublime seafood, world-class charcuterie, pungent artisanal cheeses and increasingly good quality wines. They are, it must be conceded, less fussed about establishing export markets and trumpeting these treasures to the wider world but over the last six years we have developed a close rapport with a handful of elite wine producers and have now secured generous allocations of some of the island’s finest wines.
Outside the village of Luri, up on the Cap Corse promontory, Lina Pieretti-Venturi makes a wonderful sweet Muscat de Cap Corse from a precious parcel of 2 hectares of vines that have been handed down through her family.
The celebrated Domaine de Torraccia, planted by pioneering winemaker Christian Imbert in the mid 1960’s, lies down in the south, in the hills above Porto Vecchio. Christian, who is a sprightly octogenarian has now conceded cellar duties and the day to day running of the estate to his son Marc who has a wealth of wine making experience, including stints at Château Latour and at Jekyl vineyards in California.
Philippe Farinelli’s understated Vins de Corse from Sartène accounted for 2 of Decanter Magazine’s ‘Top 50 Best Value French Wines’ last summer so this is definitely an estate to watch.
