Figari Blanc
Tonic, still reserved aromatically, the Figari shows some reduction, but its rigorous definition and purity of flavour are worthy of praise

The estate's grape varieties are very varied, with Sciacarellu dominating in red and Vermentinu in white. Following the example of the Abbatucci estate, Yves Canarelli also devotes himself to promoting the island's indigenous grape varieties; carcaghjolu neru, minustellu in red, bianco gentile in white...
