Rated estate (2012 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
“A meticulous winemaker and the driving force behind Patrimonio, Antoine Arena is convinced that the identity of Corsican wines depends on sound viticulture—particularly soil management—as well as winemaking that is as natural as possible. This noble cause also takes into account—and this is essential—the potential of indigenous grape varieties on selected terroirs, allowing for the creation of a range of distinctive cuvées, from the famous Carco to Grotte di Sol, and the most recent, Morta Maïo. While the estate may have experienced in certain vintages a tendency toward overripeness (with “dry” whites having high residual sugar levels) and excessive power in the reds, the most recent vintages have achieved a more balanced and refined extraction, with greater precision and accuracy. Today, under the leadership of Antoine’s sons, Jean-Baptiste and Antoine-Marie, the estate is experiencing a new wave of momentum, particularly with a focus on developing barrel-aged wines. An estate that has never stood still!”
