Barbaggio (; ; ) is a commune in the French department of Haute-Corse on the island of Corsica. It is known for its wine, its scenery, and the prehistoric site of Strette.
==Geography== Barbaggio is located on an inland plateau below Cap Corse on the southwest slopes of the high Serra di Pigno some 8 km east of Saint-Florent and 5 km south-east of Patrimonio. In times of conflict it controls the Col de Teghime, a high pass through the Serra mountains leading to Bastia, to the north-east. Barbaggio has a fine view of the Golfe de St-Florent but does not itself border the sea. Traditionally an area belonging to the Nebbio region, which has been called since Antiquity ''Conca d'Oro''. Barbaggio is one of 14 communes that make up the current Canton of Biguglia-Nebbio.
