Antoine Arena Patrimonio, Carco Blanc, 2022
From the limestone-rich slopes of Carco in northern Corsica, Antoine Arena’s Patrimonio Blanc is a classic expression of Vermentinu and one of the island’s most distinctive white wines. Farmed organically and fermented with native yeasts, it reflects Arena’s minimalist philosophy and deep respect for terroir.
The 2022 vintage shows aromas of pear, lemon peel, and wild herbs, with undertones of sea spray and crushed stone. The palate is textured and saline, combining ripe orchard fruit with bright acidity and a lingering mineral finish. Both elegant and powerful, Carco Blanc captures the purity and maritime energy that define Corsican Vermentinu at its best.
Varietal: Vermentinu
Appellation: Patrimonio, Corsica, France
Farming: Certified organic, hand-harvested
Style: White. Mineral, textured, and coastal
