The IGP area covers the entire island of Corsica, whose name means "island of beauty". It belongs to the large IGP area of Méditerranée. In terms of viticulture, Corsica is often considered together with the French region of Provence, 160 kilometres to the west, as both have a similar Mediterranean climate and comparable grape variety structures.

Ile de Beauté - Poggio-d’Oletta (Haute-Corse)

Vineyards & grape varieties

The vineyards for IGP wines cover 3,200 hectares of vineyards. These account for around three quarters of Corsica's production. By clearing areas, planting international grape varieties and reducing yields from the 2000s onwards, the quality of IGP wines has improved. Around 35% of the wines produced are red, 45% rosé and 20% white. All varieties authorised on the island can be used.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
