Corsican flavors in Patrimonio

Corsican flavors in Patrimonio

Less than half an hour’s journey from Bastia is enough to reach the small village of Patrimonio, reknown for the quality of its wines.

This is where the Savonnerie du Nebbiu was set up, an organic artisanal soap factory, which uses Corsican plants (immortelle, myrtle, etc.) but also Patriminio grapes to create high quality organic products, cold saponified.

Then head to Pierre Carli, the neighboring beekeeper who, depending on the season, moves his hives into the Corsican maquis to offer a whole range of honeys, from the sweetest to the most full-bodied.

After visiting the workshop, a tasting is offered to discover the range of tastes and flavors of the honey produced.

Finally, you cannot leave the village of Patrimonio without tasting its wine in one of its 46 cellars: its clay-limestone soil provides wines served on the finest tables. It should be noted that within the AOP Patrimonio, the vast majority of estates are in organic production or in a transition phase.

Port of call : Bastia,Saint Florent.

Duration  : Half day

Location  : Patrimonio

Themed  : Local wine and food, Culture & heritage.

Number of people : 10 – 20

Target audience : Single, couples, groups.
