It’s hard to think of a spot more coastal than Corsica, the French island whose wines were described as “a direct product of sun, stone, sea, and wind” by importer Kermit Lynch. The most mountainous island in the Mediterranean, Corsica’s vines grow in stony soils buffeted on all sides by winds (including the famous mistral). 

Antoine-Marie Arena is the son of benchmark Corsican producer Antoine Arena, who spearheaded the preservation of the island’s indigenous (and in some cases nearly extinct) grape varieties. His Bianco Gentile, from vines first planted by his father in 1997, is a lush white wine with notes of sun-warmed yuzu, honeysuckle, marzipan, and apricots, plus dried sage and a salty minerality on the palate. With almost prickly acidity and a finish that reminds me of Orangina, it would make a luxe companion to stinky cheese or rich pork dishes. Char siu, anyone? Kate Masters
