In the eighteenth century, Corsica was not yet French, but Italian. At that time the Nielluccio grape was brought to the island. Most Corsicans think it is a grape native to the island. But actually it is the Sangiovese. Genetically identical. Yet it tastes slightly different in Corsica than in Tuscany.| Color: | Red | Taste profile: | Medium body | Country: | France |

Corsica is a true wine island. More than half of its surface consists of vineyards. They are in the bright sun, but receive welcome cooling from the Mediterranean Sea. As a result, the wines of Corsica have a leaner, fresher character than you might expect from such a southern region. They are exported on a very modest scale.
