Wine island Corsica, the Île de Beauté

For thousands of years, the inhabitants of Corsica have been making wine. The island's nickname is Île de Beauté, the island of beauty. And not without reason! It is truly beautiful there. Go especially in May. Then everything is in bloom. And it's not yet so full of tourists and not yet so hot.

Corsica has many local grape varieties, some were almost forgotten. Who knows red from morescone, carcajolo negre, nielluciu or sciacarellu? Or cheerful white wines from for example bianco gentile and vermentino, on Corsica naturally called vermentinu.

From Vermentinu, winemaker Giambagli makes The Holy Mule, U San Muletto. The mule is the 'national' animal of Corsica, the only way to get up the small steep mountain paths.
