Corsica, France
Antoine Arena
Antoine Arena is the most respected name in Corsican wine, farming old vines on the island's northern tip. 'Sempre Cuntentu' means 'always happy' in Corsican dialect — it's his everyday red, made from the island's main grape, Nielluccio, which is basically Sangiovese that moved to Corsica centuries ago.
