"A great success

"Bright, luminous gold. The aromatic arc of Biancu Gentile alias BG recalls exotic scents, a note of passion and a juvenile trait of its breeding. The palate, though ripe and full-bodied, benefits from sufficient acidity to support and balance. With its purity, salinity, balance and low alcohol content, this is an outstanding success that puts this ancient grape variety in the spotlight". (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

Yves Canarelli cultivates over 30 hectares of biodynamic vines in the Figari and Bonifacio areas, drawing on the Corsican grape varieties best suited to his tastes and terroir. The new winery allows vinification in a variety of containers: amphorae, concrete eggs, barrels and tuns. After giving birth to his grand cru on Bonifacio's limestone terroir, Tarra di Sognu, the big news is the clearing and planting of a superb new vineyard by and for Simon, his son, who promises to be as builder and gifted as his father. A faultless year.

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)

About the wine:

Bright, luminous gold. The aromatic arc of Biancu Gentile alias BG recalls exotic scents, a note of passion and a youthful touch of its breeding. The palate, though ripe and full-bodied, benefits from sufficient acidity to support and balance. With its purity, salinity, balance and low alcohol content, this is an outstanding success that puts this ancient grape variety in the spotlight.

About the domain :

Yves Canarelli has established himself as the great winemaker of southern Corsica, with a passion for ampelography (the old grape varieties biancu gentile, carcaghjolu neru and minustellu have been replanted). In 2009, he took over a parcel of pre-phylloxera vines in the village of Orasi (cuvée Tarra d'Orasi) and vinifies two superb cuvées in large clay amphorae (Amphora). In partnership with renowned Corsican sommelier Patrick Fioramonti, Yves Canarelli replanted Bonifacio's first clos on a plateau overlooking the town, rich in limestone rare on the island: thus was born Tarra di Sognu. The resulting wines reveal an immense terroir, and grow in strength as the vines age. With the arrival of Simon-Paul, his son, they are writing the finest pages of the island's new viticulture.
