Nicolas Mariotti Bindi
In 2007, after studying law in Paris, Nicolas Mariotti Bindi made his first vintage back home in Corsica. Early on he trained with Antoine Arena in Patrimonio and worked at Domaine Leccia, and he even farmed five hectares on loan from Henri Orenga de Gaffory while getting established.
In 2015 he rebuilt an abandoned cellar at Torra in Oletta and named it Cantina di Torra. Today he farms organically and keeps the cellar work simple, with natural fermentations and only limited additions of sulfur, which he notes on the labels. The aim is clear fruit and spice from native Corsican varieties, led by Niellucciu, expressed with freshness rather than weight.
