Figari isandnbsp;on a sunny, windy plateau near the southern tip of Corsica, where Yves Canarelli has been replacing international grape varieties with indigenous grapes of Corsica for more than 20 years. Primarily Niellucciu, blended with Syrah and Sciaccarellu,andnbsp;farmed biodynamically in granite soil. Fermented and vinified in large foudres for 14 to 18 months, bottled without fining or filtering. There is an intensity to thisandnbsp;wine, along with spicy and savory notes. Dark fruits like cassis and plum are complimented by smoky, earthy notes of tobacco with a racy, mineral finish. A wine unlike any other French (or Corsican) wine on the market. andnbsp;

My string of drinking outstanding Corsican wines continues. Thanks to my bud @Todd Abrams for finding them for me. I had a glass from a bottle that was opened on Saturday. Red candy apple coating and a bit earthy. Fresh bottle. Still earth and herbs. Digging it with Family Feud.

Yum! Nice fresh fruit! Peppery and a tad meaty. Super soft finely sifted tannins.

This needs some air, but an awesome saline quality, olives, rock, light red fruits, and herbs. Pretty darn good.
