Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
A courageous and determined artisan winemaker, Christophe Ferrandis produces wines full of character—typical of their terroir and made in the true spirit of organic winemaking—in his cramped, cramped cellar. These wines need two to three years in the bottle. Let’s hope he’ll soon have a facility that does justice to his efforts.

About the estate:
A native of Marseille who trained, among other places, at Château de Pibarnon (Bandol), Christophe Ferrandis settled in 2002 near Saint-Florent in the village of Poggio d’Oletta. He currently makes wine in cramped quarters in a former sheepfold but plans to build a new winery. His vineyard faces the Leccia estate in Morta Piana. Yields are low, the vineyard is organically farmed, and the grapes are harvested in small crates. The concentrated, extract-driven style of his early years is evolving toward greater finesse. Suitable for excellent aging, the reds are more harmonious, particularly the Clos Signadore and A Mandria cuvées, produced in all three colors. Inizia is a new wine merchant cuvée.
