Corsica wine region of France : birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte

from Tune In to Wine with David Kohl : Bordeaux, Burgundy &; Beyond · host David Kohl

The Mediterranean island of Corsica is an "under the radar" winemaking region in France, producing wines from a terroir infused with volcanic embers. Close proximity to Italy provides influences to Corsican native grapes , which are descended from Italian Sangiovese grape varietals. As a point of interest, Napoleon Bonaparte was born and raised in Corsica, and his family owned a vineyard in Ajaccio. #corsica #volcanicwine #napoleon #winehistory
