This lovely rosé, with its deep salmon hue, opens with an expressive nose, exuding delicate fruity notes that are both fresh and pleasant. A lively wine, with a beautifully rounded palate and a long, elegant finish. The perfect pairing for the gourmet, authentic charcuterie of the Isle of Beauty...

Rated estate (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

Yves Canarelli cultivates over 30 hectares using biodynamic methods in the Figari and Bonifacio regions, selecting from among the Corsican grape varieties best suited to his taste and terroir. The new winery allows for winemaking in a variety of containers: amphorae, concrete eggs, barrels, and large casks. After creating his grand cru on the limestone terroir of Bonifacio, Tarra di Sognu, the big news is the clearing and planting of a superb new vineyard by and for Simon, his son, who shows every sign of being as a builder and as talented as his father. A flawless performance this year.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)

About the estate:

Yves Canarelli has established himself as the leading winemaker in southern Corsica, with a passion for ampelography (the old grape varieties Biancu Gentile, Carcaghjolu Neru, and Minustellu have been replanted). In 2009, he acquired a plot of pre-phylloxera vines in the village of Orasi (the Tarra d’Orasi cuvée) and produces two superb wines in large clay amphorae (Amphora). In partnership with the renowned Corsican sommelier Patrick Fioramonti, Yves Canarelli replanted the first vineyard in Bonifacio on a plateau overlooking the town, rich in a type of limestone rare on the island: thus Tarra di Sognu was born. The wines produced here reveal an immense terroir and gain in power as the vines age. With the arrival of his son, Simon-Paul, they are writing the finest chapters in the island’s new winemaking history.
