ORIGINS
Winery: Yves Leccia
Region: Corsica
Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, located off the coast of France and Italy. 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. The Romans also had a hand in the development of the region's wine industry, introducing new grape varieties and winemaking techniques. In the Middle Ages, the island was ruled by the Republic of Genoa, which encouraged the production of wine for export. In the 19th century, the island was annexed by France, and the wine industry continued to grow and develop. Today, Corsica is home to a thriving wine industry, with over 1,000 wineries producing a wide range of wines.CUSTOMER RATING
