Domaine San Gavino

Thierry Lebegue's artisan Corsican estate, in Figari (IGP Ile de Beaute). Grapes Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Vermentinu, Carcajolo, Minustellu and Syrah. Cuvees Reserve Caldareddu, Contrella and Carta Nera.

At Domaine San Gavino, wine is not an industrial production, it is the work of an artisan. Thierry Lebegue embodies this vision with total involvement: from the pruning of the vine to the bottling, through the winemaking, each gesture bears his signature.

Reserve Caldareddu (Red, White, Rose)

IGP Ile de Beaute - Sciaccarellu, Vermentinu

Balanced, fruity and sun-filled wines, ideal to discover the sincere expression of the Corsican terroirs in a supple, immediate style.

Contrella Rouge

IGP Ile de Beaute - Niellucciu, Syrah

The estate's signature, aged 18 months in oak barrels: a sturdy wine for keeping, with assertive tannins and a marked aromatic complexity. Also in White (finesse and tension) and Rose.

Carta Nera Rouge

IGP Ile de Beaute - Niellucciu, Syrah, Minustellu

The author's cuvee in a father-son duo: an original ageing mixing oak barrels and terracotta jars. An intense colour, a powerful but balanced palate, a spicy finish of great freshness.
