It is the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean and is known for its stunning beaches, rugged mountains, and unique culture. It is also home to a thriving wine industry, producing some of the most unique and interesting wines in the world. The history of winemaking in Corsica dates back to the ancient Greeks, who planted vineyards on the island in the 6th century BC.

In the Middle Ages, the island was ruled by the Republic of Genoa, which encouraged the production of wine for export.
