Corsica

Corsica, an enchanting island in the Mediterranean, is one of France's most diverse winegrowing regions. Spanning 100 miles from north to south—and inland across rugged mountains and coastal plains—Corsica's vineyards cover a wide array of terroir. The cool, deep waters of the Mediterranean Sea play a major role in cooling Corsica's vineyards, sending refreshing breezes up to 50 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, producing crisp and aromatic wines, while further inland, the warmer, sun-drenched slopes yield bigger, bolder wines. This diversity of conditions enables Corsica to produce a wide range of wine styles, each reflecting the unique character of its growing regions.
