Our visit to Domaine Comte Peraldi in Ajaccio, Corsica, was an unforgettable experience, and it was made even more special by our exceptional young guide, Ange-Marie. From the moment we arrived, his passion for Corsican wines was palpable, infusing every detail of the tour with enthusiasm and insight.
