Wine estates Saint-Florent

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 ha in Oletta and 12 ha in Santo-Pietro-di-Tenda. The island's Vermentino and Niellucciu grapes produce whites, reds and rosés that are waiting to be discovered!
