Le Petit Clos is one of the most indulgent and authentic wines from Figari! A beautiful purple hue gives way to a delicate and expressive nose, with notes of blackcurrant, tapenade, and subtle spices... The palate is intense, with great suppleness and beautifully ripe fruit, leading to a long and captivating finish. All the excellence of the Clos in a bottle!

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

About the estate:

Yves Canarelli cultivates more than 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, Tarra di Sognu, on the limestone terroir of Bonifacio, the big news is the clearing and planting of a superb new vineyard by and for Simon, his son, who is proving to be as skilled a winemaker as his father. A flawless year so far.

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 near 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 Bonifacio’s first vineyard 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 there reveal an immense terroir and gain depth 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.
