Nestled between the sea, the mountains and the scorching Agriates desert, the Patrimonio wine-growing region is Corsica's oldest. Marie-Brigitte (Poli) Julliard took control of Clos Teddi after her father's death in 2000. Her 25-35 year-old vines are farmed organically in the desert's granite sand and her 2011 rouge is made primarily from tank-aged Nielluciu (Sangiovese.)
