Not for nothing is Corsica also known as the Ile de Beauté in french – b
ut beyond its glorious scenery the island also produces some interesting wines, which Yapp Bros are now stocking – and Yapp know their France and french wines:-
Despite the thirsty attentions of tourists in situ and the Corsicans themselves, we have managed to secure and ship some wonderful wines for your (and our) enjoyment over the past five years. Aromatic dry whites, pale rosés for uplifting summer drinking, juicy, spicy reds with lots of earthy fruit interwoven with supple tannins and, not to be overlooked, the luscious, rare sweet Muscat from the Cap Corse that exudes heady orange blossom aromas and a decadent honeyed palate.
The local speciality is probably the Vermentino grape which produces light aromatic dry whites – but the island can also produce good reds – think central Italy which is on the same latitude – i.e about 100 miles south of the French Riviera with a mountainous terrain.
