About the Producer Antoine-Marie Arena
Antoine-Marie Arena is the younger son of the famous Antoine Arena, a legendary Patrimonio wine maker in Corsica. After having worked on the family domain since 2004, Antoine-Marie started making his own wines in 2014. He works on 6 hectares including the Carco and Hauts de Carco terroirs, and these are planted with Nielluccio for the reds, and Bianco Gentile, Vermentinu and Muscat for the whites. The result is everything we would expect and more: wines already among the finest in Corsica, offering crisp fruit, elegance and depth.
