Biancu Gentile is a white grape variety native to the island of Corsica. It is an ancient variety that had almost disappeared but has been revived in recent years due to its potential to produce high-quality wines with unique characteristics. This resurgence is part of a broader trend in Corsica to preserve and celebrate indigenous grape varieties.

Biancu Gentile wines are known for their full-bodied and rich texture. The flavor profile often includes notes of stone fruits such as apricot and peach, along with citrus, pear, and sometimes floral aromas like honeysuckle or jasmine. The wines can also exhibit a good balance of acidity, which adds freshness and vibrancy, making them both complex and refreshing. 

Nielluccio is a red wine grape variety that is most closely associated with the island of Corsica, where it is widely cultivated. It is believed to be genetically identical to Sangiovese, the famous grape of Tuscany in Italy, although it exhibits distinct characteristics influenced by the unique terroir of Corsica.

Nielluccio is known for producing robust and flavorful wines with a distinct Corsican identity. The wines made from Nielluccio typically have medium to high acidity, moderate tannins, and a complex flavor profile. Common tasting notes include red and black fruits such as cherry, raspberry, and plum, as well as earthy undertones, herbal notes, and sometimes a hint of spice.
