More than 2,500 years old, the Corsican wine region has around thirty typical grape varieties, including Sciacarello, Nielluccio and Vermentino and 10 AOCs. The diversity of sun-drenched slopes, the juxtaposition of microclimates, the variety of soils and the unremitting work of the wine growers has earned the region its credentials.
