The Emy-Lidia is a 2021 white wine from the Ajaccio appellation on Corsica, made from 100% Vermentino. It comes from granite and schist soils, which the producer credits with a wine of great purity and marked mineral notes.
Domaine U Stiliccionu is in Serra-di-Ferro, on a promontory in southwestern Corsica. Sébastien Poly took over the estate from his grandfather in 2005. He studied business in Toulouse, attended an agricultural high school in Cahors, and worked in vineyards in Hungary and New Zealand, an unusual path for a Corsican winemaker. He has expanded the vineyard to six hectares, just over 13 acres, and converted it to biodynamic farming in 2008. Besides the Vermentino, their reds from the native Sciaccarellu and Niellucciu grapes are among the domaine's most striking wines.
