Culombu, family history

The history of Clos Culombu began in 1973 with the Suzzoni family.
In 1986 the son Etienne took the reindeer of the estate to extend its area to 64 ha of vine and 12 ha of olive trees. More recently in 2016 it was Paul-Antoine the son of Etienne Suzzoni who vinified the 40th vintage of Clos Culombu. This vineyard, in organic farming, has been managed for more than thirty years by the Suzzoni Family. Clos Columbu begins its conversion to biodynamics.

Clos Culombu Corsican grape varieties

The emblematic grape varieties of this Corse Calvi wine AOC are represented: Nielluccio, sciaccarello, vermentino, grenache and cinsault.

Domaine Culombu has become Calvi’s wine reference. And for the little story, the culombu is a trumpet-shaped shell used by the shepherds to call themselves from one hill to another...
