situated in the southern part of Cap Corse between Bastia and the citadel of Saint-Florent, Patrimonio was the first area to be granted AC status in Corsica. Seven villages are entitled to the appellation. Patrimonio is made from 95% Niellucio for the red wines and Vermentino only for the whites. The wines are 50% red and 30% rosé. The vineyards are planted on hillside sites formed of limestone and clay scree. The soils are consistent, which is unusual for Corsica. The mountains form a buffer against the wind. Fog is prevalent both in the autumn and the winter.
Grape varieties: Vins rouges, rosés : Nielluccio, grenache, sciacarello, vermentino.Vins blancs secs : vermentino, ugni blanc

the reds with their deep hue (ruby-red) exhibit balsamic fragrances (pine trees), dried fig, raspberry, violet and toasted aromas. They are powerful, dense, fleshy, warm and robust – more so than wines from Ajaccio - with a full mouthfeel. Try with game or goats cheese. The pleasant, fruity rosés are full-bodied with a slight acidulous note and pair with Corsican cooked cold pork meats. The pale yellow colour whites display floral and apple aromas. They are supple, fruity and well-structured. They are suitable for fish and shellfish.
