Domaine Comte Peraldi
First planted to vines in the 16th century and under ownership and management by the de Poix family since 1965. "One of the most popular domaines of all Corsica," (La Revue de Vin de France), a focus of the last 15 years has been a push to high quality production. Viticulture is culture raisonnée (no chemicals unless necessary to save a crop), and the principal varieties of the estate are the emblematically Corsican Sciaccarellu and Nielluccio.
The beautiful island of Corsica represents a symbiosis of French and Italian culture as well as wine style; the wines at their best capture a flamboyance of fruit around a depth of structure. Ajaccio is arguably the pinnacle appellation of quality Corsican wine, with the vineyards growing over granitic soils (sand dominates the island's west). FELIXR
