Christophe Ferrandis was born in Marseille to a family with strong roots in Corsica. After working for several years at Domaine Pibarnon in Bandol, he moved to Corsica, where he worked as a consultant for
a cooperative.
Through the connections of his uncle who grew up in Corsica, he was able to find a few hectares of old vines and established his domaine in 2001. In addition to the flagship Clos Signadore, the domaine also produces
Cuvée A Mandria in red, white and rosé. Since the creation of the domain, they have avoided the use of chemicals in
The vineyards. They only use mechanical weeding and no chemical products are sprayed on the Earth.
The majority of the vineyards face north to protect the vines from the intense
Corsican sun. This allows Christophe to harvest fully ripe grapes that retain a freshness that comes through in the wines. Clos Signadore produces some of the finest wines on
Corsica, reds full of concentrated elegance, and vibrant, balanced whites.
Clos Signadore vines are located in Poggio d'Oletta, within the inland mountain kingdom which is
part of Patrimonio
Aoc. The vines are distributed over two different terroirs – Morta Piana and Morsaglia. Morta (Morta)
Piana is planted exclusively to Nielucciu, the local red grape of Corsica, closely related
for Sangiovese. 2.5 hectares of old vines planted in 1965 go into the cuvée Clos Signadore, while
the younger vines planted by Christophe in 2006 go into A Mandria wines. Christopher
also planted 1 hectare each of Nielucciu and Vermentino in Morsaglia in 2006 and 2007,
which is used in the production of A Mandria wines.
