Vins De Corse

By no means do I consider myself a wine connoisseur but I do have plenty of consumption experience and know what I like.  One of the great joys for visitors to Corsica who enjoy a glass or two is the discovery of a huge range of indigenous wines. In all likelihood you'll have never encountered any previously as production is limited and mostly consumed sur l'ile.
A few facts and figures: there are more than 30 indigenous grape varieties; the main grapes are sciaccarellu, niellucciu and vermentinu; there are 9 appellations; 264 producers (including a lone english vintner)  and 370,000 hl of annual production. Wine production on Corsica has been traced back to the sixth century BC!
There's plenty of variety to choose from once you're here and we are still discovering new wines to try each year.
Vins de Corse produce a really useful free guide (in French and English) which you can pick up at any tourist office or go to their website. Look out in Balagne for the Route des Vins which is a fantastic ride or drive.

Wine drinkers often check out wines like kids during a candy store; engrossed by all the neat labels and varieties. Such people may even anticipate finding a replacement wine that basically surprises them with an excellent taste, aromas, color or the amazing feel within the mouth. Rarely do wine drinkers understand the complexity of the industry as an entire . Further, most of the people don't understand that the wine they like might not be being sold by a physical winery. These wines are called Bulk Wines and there are very sound and bone-fide reasons why bulk wines are produced; lucky for the wine drinkers.
