Sartène PDO wines :the elegance of a corsican terroir

Wines: Sartène PDO

In the heart of southern Corsica, between the sea and the mountains, the vineyards of the Sartène PDO flourish in land of character. Here, the vines cling to the granite hills, bathed in sunshine and caressed by the sea breezes. A unique environment that gives birth to exceptional wines, at once distinctive, elegant and deeply rooted in their island terroir.

Vineyards between tradition and Corsican identity

Recognised as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) since 1976, the Sartène PDO covers the communes of Sartène, Fozzano, Giuncheto, Grossa, Belvédère-Campomoro and Olmeto. The vineyards are made up of small, family-run estates, perpetuating age-old winemaking skills where tradition meets innovation.

The grape varieties that are emblematic of Corsica: Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Vermentinu, are expressed here with finesse and authenticity, in full-bodied red wines, fruity, delicate rosés and lively, floral whites.

A wine tourism experience

Visiting the winegrowing estates of the Sartène PDO means meeting passionate winegrowers, often established for several generations.

On the programme: tastings in the cellars, walks in the vineyards, guided tours and discovery of environmentally-friendly practices, often in organic farming.

Every Friday, the Sartenais-Valinco-Taravo Tourist Office offers a discovery trip to the heart of one of the Sartenais vineyards.

Each week, David takes a small group of around twenty people from the Propriano Tourist Office to meet the local winegrowers.

To complete the ‘locavore’ experience, the wine tasting is accompanied by Corsican sausage and Sarten tomme, made respectively by our local producers, Salameria Cianferani and the Mallaroni cheese dairy.

Departure at 9am from Propriano Tourist Office and return at the end of the morning, return transport by minibus included.
