Bronze color... The nose is intense, with notes of flowers and white fruits. Palate: rich wine, nice structure, with a strong personality, lots of length and freshness. The amphora is a perfect mastery among the Canarelli!
Yves Canarelli
Yves Canarelli took over his grandfather’s vines in 1993. In 20 years, he has shifted his viticulture over to biodynamics, and reintroduced ancient grape varietals like Cargaghjolu Nero, which nearly went extinct in the 1960s. He also transformed his domain into an ultra-modern estate, to fully benefit from one of the highest rates of sunshine in France. Yves has tested everything: from his viticulture (cultivating a parcel of pre-phylloxera vines, replanting forgotten grape varieties of Figari), to his vinifications (using indigenous yeasts, creating a micro-cuvée using amphorae), maturing wines on their lees, etc.... Here, everything is the subject of constant research. Yves is considered the most talented Corsican vigneron of his generation. The quality of his wines alone has propelled the Figari AOC back to prominence. And his cuvée Carcaghjolu Neru is simply one of the most beautiful cuvées made on the entire Isle of Beauty.
It is already the sixth vintage for this cuvée which has already generated a great deal of buzz. A nose with powdered, floral notes... Palate: outstanding finesse and refinement, incredible texture and tannins. Already an essential wine, not to be missed!
A rosé, yes, but... a top-shelf one, created by Corsica’s enfant terrible Yves Canarelli. A bouquet with notes of small red fruits, thyme, flowers, pepper... Fruity and balanced palate.
A rather translucent wine, with a refined, subtle nose, and notes of pepper and minerals... Palate: remarkable depth, considerable finesse and balance, a long, peppery finish.
Nose: citrus, white fruits, apricot, melon. Vintage after vintage, it just gets more incredible... The palate is pure, tense, and mineral, yet with lovely volume and a coating texture, fine bitter notes from the Vermentino, and a long, saline finish.
A very dark juice, dense, concentrated, with spicy notes. The fruit is very present, intense, especially with the blackcurrant. This is a perfectly balanced wine. One of the most beautiful bottles in all of Corsica... that will age so beautifully, so be patient!
A rich, intense nose with notes of ripe fruit and spices. The palate has great volume, finesse and freshness – a pure and balanced wine. The amphora, this ancient vessel of winemaking, has been mastered to perfection by Canarelli.

An almost forgotten grape variety from Figfari, this stunning cuvée is refreshing, elegant and very fine, with excellent length. The aromatics is lively, carried by notes of white-fleshed fruit and citrus, with a mineral and saline backbone.

A Corsican red wine with a big personality! Black fruits, olive, maquis, earthy undergrowth, soft spices... The powerful aroma is carried on the palate by a lovely tannic structure, a full-bodied wine that will pair perfectly with a beautiful red meat.
A fruity, digestible and easily-drinkable rosé, with notes of red fruits and a hint of grapefruit, a supple attack and a subtly tangy finish.
Volume, richness, tension, length—perfectly balanced and precise. From a cooler terroir, so the nose opens first on citrus: clementine and candied lemon, then comes white fruit, almond, and a touch of iodine. Utterly irresistible, a suspended moment of pure tasting pleasure.
A beautiful gateway into the Domaine’s wines, showing the same precision found in Canarelli’s top cuvées. Peach, honey, acacia, a touch of minerality… On the palate: the grape’s natural richness is perfectly balanced by a floral finish and fine, delicate bitterness.
