  1. CalviNo producers listed yetCalvi is the northwest's coastal wine pocket, with whites and reds shaped by wind, dry hillsides and views toward the Balagne villages.
  2. Figari2 producersFigari is one of France's southernmost wine areas, where wind, drought and old local grapes create intense but not heavy island wines.
  3. Patrimonio & Cap Corse4 producersPatrimonio gives northern Corsica its firmest red-wine name, while Cap Corse adds dry whites and Muscat on sea-facing slopes.
  4. Porto-VecchioNo producers listed yetPorto-Vecchio covers the southeast, where coastal heat is checked by wind and the wines keep a clear island signature.
  5. Sartène1 producerSartène sits in the rugged southwest, giving Corsica reds and whites with more inland muscle and herbal southern warmth.
  6. Vin de CorseNo producers listed yetVin de Corse is the island-wide frame for producers and parcels that cross the named coastal appellations.
