Philippe Farinelli, a talented oenologist, has been one of the island's leading winemakers since 1998. But his property was already considered as one of the jewels of Corsica's winegrowing in the 19th century! His range is remarkable and very much in demand. Notably the sublime "Casteddu" cuvée in red, white and rosé, made from selected plots with low yields and aged in oak barrels, ideal as a wine for laying down. The Domaine Saparale AOC Sartène cuvée is also available in all three colours and is the perfect accompaniment to all kinds of meals with its distinctly Sarthe accents. There is also an adorable hotel section consisting of beautiful charming residences, 3 magnificent sheepfolds immersed in the heart of the surrounding nature, among the 1,000 hectares of the property, with a swimming pool.

The San Micheli estate is one of the oldest in the "Sartène" appellation. Owned by the family since the 18th century, the estate was taken over in 1974 by Jean-Paul and Bénédicte Phélip. The vineyard is located in the Ortolo Valley, on the hillside at the place called "Capaneddi", facing south-west, at the foot of the Cagna mountain range, which provides it with temperature variations beneficial to the cultivation of the vine. The vineyard today covers 22 hectares planted with traditional grape varieties of the appellation, managed in a reasoned and traditional way. Our favourites: The red Tradition cuvée made from sciacarello, niellucciueto and Carignant grapes and the Alfieri Polidori cuvée, the latest addition to the estate, is a tribute to an ancestor of the family, a blend of sciacarello and niellucio by plot selection. A magnificent, modern, carefully decorated, freestone guest house, renovated in 2006, welcomes you to take full advantage of the estate and prolong the pleasure of this preserved nature.

The Richarme family winery extends over 24 hectares, planted with niellucciu, sciaccarellu and vermentinu.

The fruity, oak-aged Esprit de la Terre cuvée is a firm favorite, as is the Lion de Roccapina cuvée.
