Gourmet products local specialties and wines Corse-Du-Sud

A beautiful area created in 2000 in the heart of the Ortolo valley, known as the source valley, which in the 500 th century had more than hectares of vineyards. Laurence and Elisabeth Quilichini-Phelip run the winery and olive groves on the property of 300 hectares, 12 of which are vines, exposed to the south-east. The winemaking know-how and the work of the vine lead to the production of white, red and rosé, which quickly made a beautiful reputation. Coeur for red 2012, high in oak lightning for 18 months. Point of sale next to L'Echauguette restaurant in Sartène and visit the area by appointment. In the th century mansion, you can discover the charm of charming accommodation, or its old outbuildings.

The vines are cultivated in a traditional way, without chemical fertilizers, weed killers or synthetic pesticides, certified organic. The vine thus keeps its natural balance and produces perfectly healthy grapes able to give the maximum of aromas. Both the rosés and whites are nervous and fruity, the reds, round in the mouth, age and improve well over ten years. Very nice range of old vintages and wines for laying down. Organic olive oil PDO. You will also enjoy beautiful and original musical evenings under the starry night!

This delicatessen of local produce is located at the entrance to Propriano and has been run for twelve years by the Cucchi family, who will be delighted to welcome you. Marie-Blanche prepares her famous chestnut flour doughnuts, while Marcel selects and presents his best products. There's a fine selection of charcuterie from the Upper Taravo region, olive oils, honeys, jams, canistrelli, liqueurs and eaux-de-vie, artisanal terrines and fine bottles of Corsican AOC. Everything is vacuum-packed and ready to ship.

The Richarme family winery extends over 24 hectares, planted with niellucciu, sciaccarellu and vermentinu. In good years, it produces 900 hl of reds, whites and rosés certified AB - agriculture biologique - and practicing biodynamics (Demeter certification). The fruity, oak-aged Esprit de la Terre cuvée is a firm favorite, as is the Lion de Roccapina cuvée. As a bonus, there's a gourmet restaurant, a swimming pool, a camping area and even charming bed & breakfasts. Pure happiness!

Since 1991, Isabelle Courrèges has been able to develop her vineyard, which has become one of the region's most valuable assets and is now HVE (high environmental value) certified. From the typical Corsican grape varieties, vermentinu for the whites and sciaccarellu, niellucciu for the reds and rosés, the Domaine welcomes you in its brand new buildings. We recommend the Guillaume vintage, aged in oak barrels for the red and the same for the white, a gastronomic wine that will surprise you with its complexity and originality. Visit of the Domain by appointment.

A jewel of greed, the Corsican Market is hidden at the Isolella traffic circle, where Philippe, Sébastien and Lisandru, three qualified and passionate sommeliers, welcome you.

Established in Sagone plage since 1969, this is the benchmark ice cream parlour in Corsica.

It is impossible to visit Corsica without discovering its gastronomy and especially its animal products. We are here at Angeot Andreucci's, breeder and producer of farmhouse charcuterie made from Nustrale Corsican pigs. The pigs are raised in freedom under the chestnut trees of the high Taravo at an altitude of 800 m, supplemented with cereals and slaughtered according to the rules of art and island methods. Good to know: sale on the spot and visit of the exploitation on reservation. Shipments on request.

A pretty store on the road to Appieto to introduce you to the different flavors of honey. From the sweetness of spring honey to the taste of autumn honey, flavors and textures change with nature and the work of these winged workers. Here you'll find honeys, canistrelli, nougats and other by-products. From the plains and mountains of the micro-region and beehives moved with the seasons. You'll be able to ask any questions you may have, and even cure them with a few drops of honey...

The estate is spread over the hillsides of the commune of Sari-d'Orcino, where it combines the production of centuries-old orchards with that of a young plantation, which bears the name of a Romanesque chapel overlooking the Cinarca valley: San Ghjuvà (hence the name of its oil). Certified PDO Oliu di Corsica, it is the result of a blend of ghjermana and sabina, which give it subtle and complex flavours, herbaceous and fruity, to which is added the effect of the aromatic presence of the surrounding maquis and the influence of the nearby Mediterranean Sea.

In this cellar in Ajaccio, you'll find a fine selection of wines from Corsica and the rest of the world (2,000 references), as well as champagnes, whiskies, rums, glassware, delicatessen products from Corsica and elsewhere (wild smoked salmon, truffles, caviar for the holidays, confectionery, cheeses...).
