Expert opinion
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Estate rated (2012 guide) 2**Stars (Successful production)
About the domain :
"In 1991, Bernard Renucci took over the family estate at Féliceto, in the Réginu valley of the Balagne region. The 17 hectares of granite-arena soils are planted with the Corsican grape varieties sciacarellu, nielluciu and vermentinu (white), complemented by syrah and grenache. The vines are ploughed and worked without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The wines, presented in all three colors, are claimed as appellation Corse Calvi.

About the domain :
"This hard-working, passionate winegrower runs a 17-hectare estate on the plain of the Feliceto valley (Balagne), to which he adds a small plot on the hillsides. Created in 1992 and planted until 2005, the average age of the vineyard is quite young. But Bernard Renucci perfectly compensates for this temporary handicap by carefully controlling yields, striving for maturity and meticulous vinification. Vignola, the estate's only cuvée, illustrates the right balance between these different parameters in generous wines that preserve the finesse of this alluvial terroir.
