Antoine Arena's mission has been to make the best his land can offer. He started identifying the best parcels and vinifiying them separately, and long before his time, worked the vines organically and vinified without any added sulfur. This Bianco Gentile is a great example of what Antoine Arena's philosophy. Bianco Gentile is a variety native to Corsica, considered lost until a small parcel was found up the highlands. Antoine and a small group of vigneron friends took some cuttings from that last remaining vineyard, and planted it back on his property, effectively saving it from extinction. A rare grape by a producer who believes in the heart and soul of Corsica.
