Gourmet products local specialties and wines Saint-Florent

This small business, which has been present on the square since 1913, has recently been taken over by Jean-Michel, the heir to the Scotto family. This small local delicatessen shop offers good Corsican products, finely selected, fruit and vegetables from the region. New delicatessen section with truffle, foie gras, caviar, mozzarella di bufala... A fine selection of the most noble wines of Corsica. Always a lovely welcome from Nathalie and Jean-Michel who will always take the time to share their passion with you and advise you on your purchases.

Visit Saint-Florent on the first Wednesday of each month along the banks of the Alisu to stroll through the clothing stalls all day long. In summer, an evening textile market also takes place on the quays. If you're more interested in shopping, small food markets with local producers are held at the Patrimonio wine house on Saturday mornings all year round, and on Tuesday and Friday mornings in Oletta during the summer.

Domaine Gentile is a wine cellar renowned for its tradition, quality and expertise. The estate offers a wide selection of wines, from red Patrimonio to white Malvoisie, rosé and Muscat. The elegant, generous Patrimonio red can be enjoyed young or aged. The Grande Expression and I Sensi reds, from low-yield plots, offer maximum concentration and maturation in foudre or barrique respectively. The rosé, obtained by bleeding, goes perfectly with spicy dishes. The white Patrimonio, dry and fruity, can be surprising when aged. The Grande Expression white, with its pellicular maceration and fine barrel ageing on lees, can accompany all seafood and even white meats. Muscat du Cap Corse, Muscat Cuvé Tradition and Muscat Cuvé Authentica are soft, harmonious wines, perfect as aperitifs or with foie gras, cheeses and desserts. The estate also produces a sweet wine called Rappu, a blend of muscat and niellucciu grapes. Domaine Gentile practices organic farming and produces organic wines.

Eric Poli, who is also President of the Comité Interprofessionnel des Vins Corses, founded this beautiful estate in 2005. He cut his teeth on his father's estate in Piana on the east coast, so needless to say, quality is his leitmotiv. Clos Alivu covers almost 15 hectares in the Patrimonio PDO (Corsica's oldest appellation): 3 hectares in Oletta and 12 hectares in Santo-Pietro-di-Tenda. The island's Vermentino and Niellucciu grapes produce whites, reds and rosés that are waiting to be discovered!
