Figari
The Figari appellation d'origine contrôlée was granted to this Corsican terroir in 1976. Secluded inland, sheltered by the Tarabucetta bell tower, Corsica's southernmost vineyard bears the remains of the first vines planted in the 6th century BC. Today, the Figari appellation covers the communes of Figari, Monacia-d'Aullène and Pianottoli-Caldarello.

The 130-hectare Figari vineyard produces around 4,500 hectolitres of wine a year. The climate here is so harsh that the vines seem to grow on their own strength, producing bottles of extremely fine wine. Domaine Clos Canarelli is undoubtedly the one that best expresses the character of Figari's exceptional terroir.

Figari wines can be red or rosé, blended from the main grape varieties Nielluccio, Sciacarello and Grenache noir, to which can be added Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Barbarossa, Syrah, Carignan and Vermentino. As for white wines, Figari winemakers mainly use Vermentino (minimum 25%) and Ugni grapes.

"Among the greatest whites of the South

"Light gold, brilliant, fine nose, expressing the maturity and freshness of Vermentinu, light vanilla brought by ageing, beautiful complexity and purity combined. The palate reveals all its crystallinity, elegant saline flavors, bursts of orgeat, a wine ready to drink for five years or more". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Joséphine is THE cuvée to have this summer! A fresh red to enjoy without question. Explosive aromas of strawberry and raspberry, a supple attack with silky tannins, a fruit bomb enhanced by the lovely acidity of cranberries. Ideal for summer aperitifs and BBQs.

"From aperitif to dessert, for tenfold pleasure!"

A true Gem from the De Peretti della Rocca estate, cuvée Jules blanc offers a highly seductive palette of aromas. Its pretty golden color opens with a discreet floral nose accompanied by notes of peach. The attack is lively and fresh, with aromas of candied citrus fruit, rubarb and fine bitters on the finish. Its springtime influences have charmed our taste buds!

"Subtlety and delicacy for this tribute to the men in the family".

"A hint of violets precedes a well-constructed, fleshy but not excessive structure, the Sciaccarellu fruit dominates, the whole is fresh; it has been aged in barrels and stainless steel." (Revue RVF n°682 July-August 2024)

"A wild Corsican red with fruity and smoky notes".

"Beautifully intense red, dark carmine and brilliant. Niellucciu dominance brings freshness, cherry bursts, spice, Sichuan pepper on a background of maquis, dried herbs. For the estate's major cuvée, it's already very young, with lots of personality. We are charmed by the quality of the tannins that surround this ripe, precious juice, a framework without excess, subtly infused, all freshness to ensure the digestible aspect of the whole. The woody ageing in foudres and demi-muids is sober, everything is already in place to be savoured in the moment and over nearly 10 years". (RVF Guide 2025)

"With great mastery, this cuvée will delight lovers of great terroir wines!"

"Light cherry red. Nicely dusty nose - very "amphora". Expressive dark red fruit. Dry, delicately chewy, with pure texture and fruitiness. Long, juicy finish emanating from this lovely dry texture." (Jancis Robinson 2023). A blend of indigenous grape varieties, vinified in amphora with no added sulfur, this cuvée is pure in red fruit, flavorful and invigoratingly fresh.

"A beautiful expression of the island of beauty".

"Made from 100% Vermentinu granite plots, vinified with no added inputs or sulfur, in clay amphora. Golden, slightly cloudy on opening, luminous. Nose marked by juicy pear, notes of autolysis brought by the lees and non-filtration of this cuvée. The palate is rich and generous, with a tangy structure that supports the whole. A wine for the table, why not with white meat or veal curry. Drink over three to five years". (Le Guide RVF 2024)

"Sunshine in the bottle for this fine, delicate rosé".

"Direct-pressed, Corse Figari Rose 2022, a blend of Grenache, Sciaccarellu and Niellucci, has a vibrant, iodized bouquet with aromas of peach, red berries, gooseberry, spice, garrigue and an attractive menthol top note. Medium-bodied, salty and taut, it is delicately fresh and perfectly balanced with a delicate, elegant finish. More incisive than the 2021, it will offer a wide tasting window (1-5 years)."

Le Petit Clos is one of Figari's finest and most authentic wines! A beautiful crimson color precedes a fine, expressive nose, with notes of blackcurrant, tapenade and fine spices...

This very pretty rosé with its intense salmon hue opens with an expressive nose, distilling delicate fruity notes that are both fresh and pleasing. It's a lively wine, round on the palate, with a strong finish. The perfect companion for authentic, gourmet charcuterie from the Isle of Beauty...
