Clos Canarelli is located in Figari in southern Corsica, and the true history of the Canarelli estate begins in 1993, when Yves Canarelli decided to buy back the family vines and become a winemaker. Subsequently, he developed his vineyard, which currently exceeds 32 hectares, including 25 hectares in red. In 2007, Clos Canarelli moved into its new cellar and quickly demonstrated extraordinary winemaking talents.
Probably influenced by another famous Corsican winemaker, Jean Charles Abbatucci from Domaine Comte Abbatucci, Yves Canarelli decided to revive old indigenous grape varieties that had almost disappeared in Corsica, such as Minustellu and Carcaghjolu Neru in red, or Bianco Gentile in white. At the same time, he continues to promote traditional local grape varieties such as Sciacarellu and Niellucciu, on his terroir rich in limestone, which is uncommon on the Isle of Beauty. In order to remain in the deepest respect for nature and its diversity, Clos Canarelli has been entirely converted to biodynamic farming. At Clos Canarelli, various trials have been conducted regarding wine aging in barrels, tanks, demi-muids, foudres, and even amphoras. The goal is to highlight the terroir and pure expression of the grape varieties, as with the pre-phylloxera vineyard parcel in the village of Orasi taken over in 2009 (Terra d'Orasi cuvée), as well as his Amphora cuvées (in red and white) which are aged in large clay amphoras. The white wines are imbued with deep minerality, invigorating tension, and an elegant floral touch. The red wines present incredible balance, the ruby color and silky texture of a great Burgundy, combined with the firm tannins and garrigue notes characteristic of Corsica. The Corse Blanc Amphora from Clos Canarelli is generous, full-bodied and shimmering, with a spicy and almost mellow length. The Corse Rouge Amphora from Clos Canarelli is more refined and digestible, in a style where fruitiness and freshness dominate. The Muscat MPG offers sweet praline flavors on barley sugar. The Biancu Gentile (white) reveals itself full of energy with a remarkable saline finish. The Carcaghjolu Neru Costa Nera is very distinguished and full of flavors, while the Alte Rocca cuvée is a very subtle and delicate wine that combines finesse and aromatic freshness. Finally, Tarra Di Sognu is the southernmost vineyard in France, rooted on the limestone plateaus of an old clos replanted in 2010 and overlooking Bonifacio, just steps from the sea. The breed of the 2 cuvées produced in this clos seems evident, paying tribute to the expression of a great limestone terroir: the white is chiseled and saline, full of delicate flavors, while the red offers truly vibrant fruitiness, combined with silky and refined tannins. It is advisable to remember the name of Clos Canarelli, as it shines on the Isle of Beauty.
