A narrow peninsula, like a finger pointing north, which opens onto the Gulf of Saint-Florent, as far as the Agriates, still sometimes improperly called "desert of the Agriates", these are in reality agrarian lands, suitable for cultivation. cereals and olive trees ...
A territory where the built heritage reveals a fighting past marked by faith. You will discover the terraced crops of Cap Corse and the centuries-old olive groves of the fertile Conca d'Oru plain (Cornucopia), witnesses to the strong agricultural activity of past centuries. Today, pastures and young olive groves still shape the landscape, but this land remains above all a Mecca for Corsican viticulture - its clay-schist soils sometimes softened by limestone formations have produced wines which, since Antiquity, appeared among the best in the Mediterranean.
Currently, the famous AOC Patrimonio wines and the famous Cap Corse muscats are a true tribute to this prodigal land.
