Figari
Harmonious and subtle, with a remarkable mastery of maturation, worthy of its reputation. Precision of flavours and finesse of tannins leave no doubt as to its potential
With its sober flavours and vitality of sap, the estate's Figari seduces with its harmony and digestible persistence.
This Clos Canarelli, a blend of Niellucciu and Syrah, has a deep red colour with violet tints. The nose is complex with black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), wild and smoky notes of the maquis. On the palate, it is a wine of great finesse, with velvety tannins, tasty and racy. The tannins are already quite well blended and the finish is surprisingly long.

The first Clos de Bonifacio (5ha) has been built over the last 3 years with the help of a crowbar on as yet unexploited limestone terroirs with exceptional potential, to be followed closely...
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...
