Viticulture Vineyards are farmed organically. Gobelet pruning starts in January to let the vines sleep. Christophe follows the lunar cycles to guide his farming practices. Vineyards are plowed by horse.
Vinification 30% of the wine is composed of Grenache which is undergoes semi-carbonic fermentation. The other indigenous Corsican grape varietals are vinified separately and all juice is blended together before bottling. Elevage takes place in stainless steel vats on the fine lees from winter until Easter.
Production 4,000 bottles.
Notes In the Corsican History, the “Signadores”, have been considered capable of warding off the evil eye, the symbol of misfortune and ill fate. "A mandria" means sheepfold, the place in which Christophe makes the wines.
