“Elegant and vibrant, Altru Biancu is a lively tribute to the Bianco Gentile, unfolding its crisp, slightly vegetal flavors amid notes of spices and citrus.” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2020 - RVF) Altru Biancu (formerly Biancu Gentile) is a highly expressive white wine, with aromas of white flowers and hints of honey, offering remarkable freshness on the palate; it is rich and mineral, with a taut finish. “A pure Biancu Gentile bursting with energy”!

About the estate:
An oenologist involved in the revival and promotion of island wines, Yves Leccia founded his own estate in 2005, after managing the family business with his sister for about fifteen years. Today, together with his wife Sandrine, he runs a 16-hectare vineyard on clay-limestone and schist soils in Poggio-d’Oletta. Certified organic since 2017, it is one of the pillars of the Patrimonio appellation and is also frequently recognized for its Muscat wines.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Elegant and vibrant, Altru Biancu is a lively tribute to Bianco Gentile, whose crisp, slightly vegetal flavors unfold against a backdrop of spices and citrus.
About the estate:
Yves Leccia and Sandrine, his partner, run a vineyard located primarily on the E Croce and Partinelone plots. The entire vineyard is tilled and cultivated, and only organic fertilizers are used. The estate has been highly innovative in recent years, introducing new wines such as O Bà, Biancu Marinu, and L'Altru Biancu. These meticulously crafted wines remain fine ambassadors for Corsican viticulture, but care must be taken not to overshadow their individuality: some wines, more standardized than in the past, place too much emphasis on technical precision.
