Wine for sale: Sant Armettu

Sant Armettu

A family owned estate on the beautiful, rugged island of Corsica. As soon as you open a bottle, you are transported there where the sun, scents of the shrubland and sounds of cicadas mix.

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.
