Certified Organic. The Corsican natural winemaking community is quite tight-knit, and this Nielluciu is dedicated to their collective nature. Brother and sister Mathieu and Julie are fifth generation at the helm of this estate, having taken over for their father, Touissant, who is still very active in the vineyards, and is the main reason that this estate has never been touched by pesticides or herbicides. Clos Marfisi’s vineyards rise up from the Mediterranean with southern and western exposures on steep slopes that are practically white with large chunks of broken up limestone. The entire estate is planted to local varieties.
