Sant Armettu : wines from Sartene (Corsica) with strong personnality
Gilles Seroin, a talented winemaker, produces great Corsican wines at Sant Armettu estate in the heart of AOC Sartene. Beautiful cuvees in white, red and rose, produced from old local grape varieties. Sant Armettu is located in the south-west of Corsica, in Olmeto. It covers 40 hectares, and takes its name from "Saint Hermit", a hermit passionate about plants and endowed with a healing power. The estate was created in 1964 by Paul Seroin, who settled in the vineyard and, as a true visionary, already saw the strong qualitative potential of the terroir. For more than 30 years, he supplied the Sartene cooperative with grapes. Then, in 1996, Gilles Seroin, the son of Paul, a passionate wine merchant, joined the estate with great ambitions. He creates a cellar and signs his first vintages bottled on site. In the early 2000s, he decided to plant old grape varieties, to expand the cellar and the estate. Super winemaker, he has an impressive range of micro-plots and old grape varieties. The culture is done according to responsible practices and respectful of the environment: reasoned agriculture, without weedkillers, without chemical fertilizers. The estate is currently in organic conversion.
Corsican wines with a strong identity, which really impressed us when tasting.
