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. The vineyard 'Grotte de Sole', as the name implies, is a southerly exposed site that captures the sun's rays at its fullest throughout most of the day. One of Antoine's favorite vineyard sites. In 2014, however, in a true independent Corsican spirit, Antoine split his holdings equally with his two sons, so today this site is farmed by his son Jean-Baptiste who shares the same vision as his father to simply vinify what the land has to offer. This a great opportunity to taste a 100% Nielluccio with age from one of the Corsicans iconic producers.
