TIMELINE

1912

Antoine-Mathieu Guissani

In 1912, Antoine-Mathieu Guissani buys the seaside land with one sole ambition: build an Estate where man, agriculture and nature are in harmony.

​The first vines are planted on the shore of Campo Maggiore. ​

1931

Jean-François Guissani

In 1931, his son Jean-Francois Guissani, writes the greatest chapter of the Estate by enlarging the vineyards on the opposite south-facing hillside.

​He is one of the pioneers of the "Appellation Patrimonio Contrôlée (AOC)". Through his boutique in Bastia, he establishes in 1940 the Farinole wine reputation which became the most prized in Corsica. 

1979

Angèle Guissani and
​Jean-Marie Paoli


In 1979, the granddaughter Angèle Guissani and her husband Jean-Marie Paoli acquire the land of what is the location of the vineyard today.

​1985

​​ Sylvain Paoli

In 1985, Sylvain Paoli, the great-grandson, structures the estate, continues to build its reputation and transforms the château in an acclaimed vineyard beyond Corsican shores.
​In Corsica, he is recognised as a pioneer of the organic agriculture and sees his efforts rewarded by the first organic certification in 1998 in the "Appellation Patrimonio Contrôlée".

2015

​Jean-François and
​François-Laurent Paoli

In 2015, Jean-Francois Paoli, brother of Sylvain, and his own son Francois-Laurent, fifth generation, take the lead to continue the legacy of this unique and magical terroir.

They have one ambition in mind, to sublimate and work for the renewal of the Estate.
