Patrimonio Wine Region
Patrimonio
Corsica's first AOC wine region, with hillside vineyards, the Church of Saint Martin, and dozens of wineries offering free tastings.
Patrimonio lies between Saint-Florent and the Teghime Pass. It became Corsica's first officially designated wine region in 1968 and is known for its Nielluccio reds, Vermentino whites, and Muscat dessert wines. The 16th-century Church of Saint Martin on a hill at the village entrance overlooks the vineyards. Along the D81 road there are twenty or thirty wineries, most of which offer free tastings. A guitar music festival is held in July. If you're driving for wine tasting, arrange a driver.
