Domaine Vico was founded in 1901 in the village of Ponte-Leccia, north of central Corsica—in the heart of a mountainous terroir that ranks among the island’s most unique. It is here, at an elevation of 290 meters on blue schist and rounded pebbles, that Sciaccarellu vines have thrived for over a century—the iconic grape variety of southern Corsica, which finds remarkable freshness and aromatic precision in this northern terroir. L’Emera takes its name from a wild plant that surrounds the vineyard—a poetic tribute to the natural environment in which these vines thrive.
