Clos Canarelli
Clos Canarelli is owned by Yves Canarelli, a firm believer in ECOCERT-certified biodynamic viticulture and a fervent defender of local grape varieties, the roots of Corsica's vineyards. Today, he is one of the Figari appellation's best-known names, producing vintages of the utmost precision. He works on the Clos Canarelli vineyard, which receives the most sunshine in France, but the frequent wind and mountain air currents enable him to compose chiselled wines.

His passion for terroir, meticulousness and insatiable research - planting Corsican grape varieties, bio-dynamic viticulture, indigenous yeasts, new cellar with ageing cellar - work wonders. The wines offered by Clos Canarelli are of the highest quality, original and racy, with a strong personality. These typical Corsican wines alone symbolize the revival and dynamism of Figari's vineyards.

Clos Canarelli - Figari Blanc 2023

vermentino
purity
biodynamics

"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)

Clos Canarelli - Figari Rouge 2022

94/100 RVF

complex
black fruits
smoked

"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)

Clos Canarelli - Figari Amphora rouge 2022

spicy

no added sulfur

"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.

amphora

"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)

"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)

"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)." (Wine Advocate 2023)

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... The palate is intense, with great suppleness and ripe fruit, for a long, bewitching finish. All the excellence of Le Clos in bottle!

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...
