The Clos Signadore was established in 2001 by Christophe Ferrandis in Poggio d’Olerra, near the mountainous part of Corsica. In 2015 Christophe embarked on his 'East Coast Project', the Inizia range of wines, when he planted three hectares of vines near Borgo, on the east coast of Corsica - not far from Patrimonio on a map, but a tortuously long drive over the mountains to completely different ecosystems.

In the times before chemical treatments, planting multiple grape varieties was a way to hedge your bets against diseases and/or weather that could impact one grape variety or another. As an homage to how Corsicans historically planted their vines, the Inizia vineyard is a field blend of indigenous varieties: Minustellu, Aleatico (red wine grapes) and Rimenese, Genovese, Bianco Gentil (white wine grapes).
