About the estate:

An oenologist dedicated to the revival and promotion of island wines, Yves Leccia established his own winery in 2005, after managing the family estate alongside his sister for some fifteen years. Today, he and his wife Sandrine run 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, often noted as well for its Muscat wines.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Yves Leccia and his partner, Sandrine, run a vineyard located primarily on the E Croce and Partinelone plots. The entire vineyard is plowed and cultivated, and only organic fertilizers are used. The estate has been highly innovative in recent years with new wines such as O Bà, Biancu Marinu, and L'Altru Biancu. Meticulously crafted, these 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.

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on January 12, 2024

Slightly vinous, this 100% Nieilluciu is a rosé with a fresh, smooth, and lively character, featuring tart and slightly spicy fruitiness that stimulates the palate with its vibrancy and freshness, all wrapped in a soft, slightly creamy texture. Its lovely fullness gives way to an elegant, mineral finish. A relatively expensive bottle. More aromatic than the 2021 vintage and with a lively, effervescent quality, this rosé offers a wide range of pairing possibilities, from a simple aperitif to a hearty, convivial dish of tagliatelle with smoked salmon, dill-infused crème fraîche, and, of course, Parmesan. Score = 3.8.
