Appellation Calvi - AOC

The Calvi Controlled Designation of Origin (AOC) is a jewel of the Corsican vineyard, located on the northwest coast of Corsica, France. It covers approximately 276 hectares, benefiting from an exceptional terroir that combines mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Calvi wines are available in red, white, and rosé, each reflecting the unique character of this island region.

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

The white wines from Calvi are mainly made from Vermentinu (Vermentino), revealing floral and fruity notes, with a beautiful freshness and a slight maritime salinity. These white wines are perfect for pairing with seafood and Mediterranean dishes.
