Corsica Tarra di Sognu

Our committee's review

Yves Canarelli, a winemaker with three stars from Revue du Vin de France—France’s leading wine publication—is widely regarded as one of the most gifted figures in Corsican wine. Since his first vintage in 1997, he’s pursued an unwavering quest for excellence, constantly refining his approach. Today, he farms over 30 hectares biodynamically across the Figari and Bonifacio regions, breathing new life into nearly 40 forgotten native grape varieties.

In 2010, he joined forces with sommelier Patrick Fioramonti to create a bold new venture: Tarra di Sognu. Sourced from five hectares of limestone-rich soils in Bonifacio, the wine made its debut in 2016 and has since been hailed as Corsica’s first true grand cru. With a mineral-driven tension that’s unique on the island, it sets a new benchmark. From biodynamic farming and indigenous yeasts to whole-cluster fermentation, local grapes, and aging in large wooden casks and demi-muids, every detail is carefully aligned in pursuit of greatness.

Experience a landmark achievement from the Isle of Beauty with a stunning Red and an extraordinary White—both crafted as Vin de France wines, as they’re made from ancient grape varieties no longer recognized under official appellation rules. A rare offering, available in extremely limited quantities!
