Corsica的旅程中最印象深刻的就是Domaine de Torraccia，事關現任莊主Marc Imbert實在太隨性，行為亦有點怪趣，小女子對他的第一印象實在一般，起初更有「想快點參觀完回家」的感覺。
The visit of Domaine de Torraccia is the most unforgettable in Corsica module since the winery owner, Marc Imbert is a casual and interesting person.
Domaine de Torraccia位於Corsica南部的Porto-Vecchio區，於1964年由Christian Imbert創立，兒子Marc Imbert於2008年開始接手。
Domaine de Torraccia is located in the south of Corsica, Porto-Vecchio. It was founded by Christian Imbert in 1964. His son, Marc Imbert took over in 2008.
酒莊現有42公頃葡萄園，均以認證有機種植。當被問到年產量時，Marc直言自己沒有記得很清楚，只回答大約20萬瓶左右～這是第一次有莊主回答不清楚產量，還真令小女子意外，但另一方面又覺得他有點意思，不會刻意記著細節。
The winery has 42 ha of vineyards, all of which are certified organic. When we asked about the annual production, Marc replied that he did not remember clearly, and only answered about 200,000 bottles. It was the first time that a winery owner could not answer his annual production. I am surprised but also think that Marc is really a casual person who does not pay much attention on details.
之後我們走到Vineyard了解Viticulture，Marc解釋眼前的葡萄園正在第二年試行Natural Farming，地上隨後長出了些草，Marc更叫我們試吃～小女子嘗後發現這些草於口中帶有芥末味道，十分有趣。
Then, we visited his vineyard to understand more about the viticulture. Marc explained that the vineyard in front of us is under natural farming for 2 years. During this period, some grass grew up and Marc asked us to taste a bit. I tasted and found that there was a mustard flavour which was very interesting.
參觀過後，Marc更熱情地邀請我們到他附近的家繼續試酒。
After the visit, Marc invited us to have another wine tasting at his home nearby.
當晚的月亮圓得很，月下嘗酒確是寫意，只是夜裏室外難免比較冷。
There was a full moon.
嘗酒時Marc又拿出了一條肉腸，同學切後大家都呆了眼～因為肉跟脂肪的比例大概是1比5？這還是第一次見，哈哈！
Marc took out a sausage which made us dumbfounded. The ratio of meat and fat was 1:5? It was my first time to have such kind of sausage!
總而言之，這次的參觀實在有趣又難忘。儘管莊主有點奇怪，無疑他的酒質素非常高。
Overall, this visit was very interesting and unforgettable. Although Marc is a bit special, his wines have high quality.
