In 1964, Lucien and Paul Seroin came from Algeria and settled in Corsica where they cleared the shrubland and planted their first vines on the slopes that dominate the Valinco Gulf and the Bay of Tizzano. The grapes are vinified at the local cooperative.
Gilles Seroin took over the 11-hectare estate in 1995 and decided to vinify his own wines. He named the property after the legend of the local hermit who was cured by plants and built the cellars that are used today. He expanded the estate which now stands at 40 hectares today, mostly planting varieties native to the island. Sciacarellu, Rimenese, Genovese, Biancu Ghjentile, Minustrellu and Aleaticu all show off their individual flavours and their Corsican soul in the wide range of wines. In 2021, the estate gained organic certification and Gilles was joined by his children Jeanne and Guillaume who are going to continue the family vineyard.

This white wine from the IGP Ile de Beauté appellation was made with 90% Vermentinu and 10% Genovese, organically grown on clay-granite soil in Olmeto under the Sartène appellation in the Alta Rocca region. The wine is made in demi-muids (600-litre vats), and then matured on lees for a year. This particular method gives this Corsican wine its beautiful lemon-yellow colour with golden hues.
The nose unveils delicately balanced aromas of flowers and fruit, such as jasmine and orange blossom, as well as green apple, pear, and white peach. The fresh, full-bodied palate has a solid structure enhanced by a well-balanced acidity and a slight bitterness like that of lemon zest or peach pit.
It is ideal to accompany seafood dishes, grilled fish or soft cheeses.
