The wines produced: (Vin de) Corse

This generic AC is the dominant one on the island comprising the wines grown on the eastern plain where the largest estates were established in the 1960s. These tend to be Corsica’s least distinguished AC wines, although Niellucciu, Sciacarellu, and Grenache must represent at least 50% of any red or rosé, while whites must be at least 75% Vermentino. The 1,603 ha are shared between 17 individual producers and four co-ops.
