An Interview with Corsican sommelier, Raphael Pierre-Bianchetti.
Corsica’s vineyards share the characteristics of their terroir. They are unique and refined. From the wide selection available, there are 3 local grape varieties that stand out and reinforce this character: Sciaccarellu, Niellucciu and Vermentino. The vineyards also cultivate the island’s history, and from their passion and craft we are able to harvest moments of great pleasure as we sample their produce. Prepare your taste buds!
