Technical sheet written by the domaine:

About Tarra di Sognu, the new vineyard of Bonifacio: This fascinating project was initiated by Yves Canarelli and Patrick Fioramonti, sommelier at the Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa, in Porto-Vecchio. What is it about? Three hectares of scrubland cleared and planted with a jackhammer on a very hard limestone slab and two hectares to be planted. 2015 is the first vintage in white, 2016 in red. The wines are aged for 18 months in large casks and demi-muids in the cellar of Clos Canarelli. The results? The (re)discovery of one of the greatest terroirs of the island. The refinement of these wines will be a revelation.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

A cuvée created with sommelier Patrick Fioramonti. The indigenous grapevines were planted starting in 2010 above Bonifacio, on one of the few clay-limestone terroirs in the entire region. Located a few hundred meters from the sea, this vineyard "iodized" and created from scratch (even though, two centuries ago, more than 3000 ha of vines were already present here before disappearing) comes from mass selections made at Tarrabucetta (where Clos Canarelli is located).

Surface area of the vineyards‍: 3 hectares in Bonifacio

Aging: The wines are aged in 34 HL casks for 18 months and in demi-muids

The grapes (blend of Carcaghjolu neru, minustrellu, and sciaccarellu) are destemmed before fermentation.
