90/100 - Wine Enthusiast
"This wine offers bright red fruit flavors with a hint of minerality. It is fresh and elegant, reflecting its unique Corsican terroir. "
Tasting notes
The color is a beautiful, very dense, deep ruby red. On the nose, beautiful aromas of red fruits: blackcurrant, blackberry and a slight note of liquorice. Its mouth is greedy, well structured, full of red fruits and some spices.
About the Winery
The Yves Leccia estate, created in 2004 by Yves and Sandrine Leccia, is the only estate to produce wines on the unique terroirs of E Croce and Partinelone in AOC Patrimonio. The estate, currently under conversion to organic farming, is located opposite the Gulf of Saint-Florent. These terroirs thus benefit from a microclimate which brings freshness and minerality to the wines of the estate. These wines for ageing all have a strong identity subtly revealed by the precise and meticulous work of Yves, a Corsican winegrower committed for more than 30 years. Thanks to perfect management of yields, it ensures magnificent results enhanced by the precision and rigor of its vinification. One of the safe bets of the Patrimonio appellation! A real terroir wine, this bracing and slightly salty white wine mingles notes of white flowers, hawthorn and honey in unfeigned indulgence.
