Appellation Calvi - AOC

The Calvi Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is a gem of the Corsican vineyard, located on the north-west coast of Corsica, France. It spreads over approximately 276 hectares, benefiting from an exceptional terroir combining mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Calvi wines are available in red, white, and rosé, each reflecting the unique character of this island region.

Calvi red wines are often made from indigenous grape varieties like Niellucciu and Sciaccarellu, offering aromas of red fruits, spices, and mineral notes. They are renowned for their elegant tannic structure and ageing potential. The rosés, light and fruity, are ideal for summer sipping, often produced from the same grape varieties.

Calvi white wines, on the other hand, are primarily made from Vermentinu (Vermentino), revealing floral and fruity notes, with a lovely freshness and a hint of maritime salinity. These white wines are perfect for pairing with seafood and Mediterranean dishes.
