Domaine Antoine Arena produces wines in the Patrimonio and Cap Corse appellations of Corsica. The estate was established in the 1970s when Antoine Arena and his family moved back to his family’s Corsican farm. Today Antoine makes wines with his two sons on 35 acres of land. Arena makes red, white and rose wines from indigenous grapes. Wine Advocate has written that Antoine Arena is “arguably Corsica’s most renowned vinous ambassador – certainly the island’s grower who has made the greatest waves in fashionable French wine circles… (he) was inspired in the mid-1970s by Corsica’s independence movement to quit a law career on the French mainland and become a wine grower like his ancestors on the ruggedly chalky slopes of Patrimonio, a career now shared with his two sons. Their wines are as distinctively delicious and intriguing as any in France.”
