Domaine Teppa

Winery in Corsica, Patrimonio

About the Winery

Domaine Teppa is a young estate, established just 5 years ago, located in the Patrimoniu region. The vineyard is planted with 50% Vermentinu for white wines, and for reds primarily Niellucciu (45%), along with small percentages of Grenache (2.5%) and Sciacarellu (2.5%).

What makes Domaine Teppa truly unique is its atypical vineyard layout: the entire estate is cultivated on steep, contoured terraces with an average slope of 45%. Each vine is individually tended with great care using a distinctive training system inspired by the cordon de Royat, but adapted with a stake and hoop structure. This method extends the vine arms from the usual 80 cm up to 140 cm, allowing for a higher number of smaller, more concentrated grape clusters — prioritizing quality over quantity.

The estate follows a philosophy of harmony with nature. Annual grass cover is maintained using endemic species, fostering a rich ecosystem where flora such as immortelle, wild lavender, crocus, arbutus, and orchids coexist with diverse fauna, including kites, bee-eaters, swallows, snakes, and ladybugs.

Grapes are harvested at optimal maturity and brought whole to the press. Pressing takes place early to preserve freshness and achieve ideal temperature conditions for fully ripe grapes, ensuring precision and quality in the winemaking process.

White Wine
Made from 100% Vermentinu, this wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged on its lees. It is neither filtered nor fined, preserving its authenticity. It displays a clear, bright golden color and offers an expressive aromatic profile, opening with notes of ripe, luscious fruit followed by delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it is well-balanced and round, with a pleasant length and remarkable smoothness.

Red Wine
This blend of 90% Niellucciu, 5% Grenache, and 5% Sciacarellu is vinified using whole grapes and aged for two years in wooden barrels, also on its lees. Unfiltered and unfined, it reveals a clear garnet color with elegant red fruit aromas. The palate is well-balanced, offering softness, depth, and a harmonious, rounded finish.
