Corsica, often referred to as “Île de Beauté” (Island of Beauty), is a ruggedly beautiful French island in the Mediterranean Sea, located southeast of mainland France and west of Italy. Its unique geography, climate, and blend of French and Italian influences have shaped a distinctive and increasingly high-quality wine industry. For a long time, Corsican wines were largely consumed on the island, but they are now gaining international recognition for their character and authenticity.
