Corsica Island Winery - Welcome to ALPA
Welcome to ALPA, the artisan of Corsican wine, a small feminine winery that celebrates the endless riches of Corsican terroirs.
Hello! My name is Albane Dragonne. I am a woman from Corsica.
I am new to the wine scene. My first wines have been released mid September 2024.
ᨏ
I try to tell you everything about the island of beauty through my wines, naturally crafted to tell you a different story of Corsican wine: beautiful, authentic, and unique.
ᨏ
I invite you to dive with me into the captivating universe of our terroirs, where each bottle tells a story, and each sip evokes the natural splendor of Corsica.
Corsica Island Winery: ALPA terroir
A JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF CORSICAN TERROIRS
ALPA is the authentic exploration of Corsican terroirs, an adventure that begins in our vineyards, extends through mountains and beaches, and finally blossoms in your glass. We are guardians of centuries-old viticultural traditions, working the vines with respect to create wines that resonate with the soul of our beautiful island.
PARCEL SELECTION, THE BASIS OF MY WINE APPROACH
ᨏ
In a quest for multiple flavors that reflect all the complexity of the island soils and the maquis, I sample the Corsican vineyard, in all its latitudes.
My work of parcel selection aims to capture the best of all Corsican terroirs and the finest fruits to let you “taste” the entire island of beauty concentrated in a single sip.
Each soil, each grape variety, and each winegrower are pieces of the puzzle, contributing to create a mosaic of flavors that strive to convey the very essence of Corsica.

PARCEL ASSEMBLIES: THE BOOK OF CORSICAN TERROIRS
ᨏ
My parcel blends make up what I call “the book of Corsican terroirs,” the perfect summary of an assembled collection of each soil family that make up the “island of beauty”.
My wines, coming from AOP assembled plots, want to offer you a sensory journey through the lands of Corsica, capturing the authenticity and complexity of our exceptional region.

SPECIAL CUVEES: MY LITTLE TREASURES IN LIMITED EDITION
Micro-cuvées single grape
ᨏ
My limited editions come from a few rows of vines on an exceptional AOP plot, a particularly noble vintage. These special vintages are therefore produced in very small quantities.
Each bottle is an invitation to an extraordinary sensory journey in one of our beautiful regions.
ᨏ
ᨏ
Tasting them is to embark on a sensory adventure, inviting you to explore the subtlety of gourmet and distinctive single-varietals, and to feel an exceptional land in each note.
I do my utmost to create wines that are ambassadors of the best Corsican wine, which testify to the unsuspected character of a plot of vines that deserves to be tasted, on the island.
ᨏ
THE ART OF VINIFICATION AND BLENDING
At ALPA, we harvest and vinify each parcel separately to produce a unique vintage capable of expressing all the nuances of its personality.
From fermentation, we evaluate the visual, olfactory, and gustatory qualities of wines from each parcel daily. These multiple tastings give us an evolving vision of blending elements.
ᨏ
The final blend brings together the vintages from these unique plots in a symphony of flavors in a demanding perspective of balance.

Corsica Island Winery: ecological commitment
ECOLOGICAL COMMITMENT: A CORSICAN WINE RESPECTFUL OF NATURE
ᨏ
My family has passed on to me a natural commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment. Our eco-responsible viticultural practices, focusing on BIODYNAMICS, aim to preserve the biodiversity of Corsican terroirs, the “made in Corsica,” and ensure the sustainability of our vineyards.
ᨏ
By choosing my wines, you are choosing a responsible and local approach to winemaking, supporting agriculture that respects nature and its cycles.
