Nicolas Mariotti-Bindi

Every achievement begins with a dream. The history of this estate is living proof. Originally destined for a career as a lawyer, Nicolas Mariotti Bindi after studying law in Paris, realizes that his life isn't there. He wanted to be a winemaker. He decided to return to Corsica to live out his passion for wine. First trained on the mainland in Beaujolais, then on his own land at Domaine Leccia, Nicolas produced his first vintage in 2007. With passion and above all perseverance, the Nicolas Mariotti-Bindi estate set up in 2015 in Cantina di Torra in Oletta. Organically farmed, the 15-hectare estate is worked on a parcel-by-parcel basis to produce singular wines faithful to their terroir. Vinification is natural, with only limited doses of SO² used, as indicated on the label. The vines are worked with the strictest respect for the soil, and ploughing is limited to the essentials to allow the soil to regenerate in winter and prevent any form of erosion. Harvesting is carried out by hand, and the grapes are packed in 500-l boxes to protect them from crushing.
