"You can hear the cicadas singing when you open this fruity, floral rosé!
Yves Leccia's cuvée E Croce rosé is the ideal partner for a meal with a glass of wine. This blend of vin de saignée and vin de pressurage is vinous, full-bodied and fleshy, with a lovely freshness. It reveals a precise floral and fruity style, with a slightly spicy, mineral finish and long persistence. Enjoy it as an aperitif or with spicy Mediterranean dishes. Simply delicious!

About the domain :
Yves Leccia, an oenologist involved in the revival and promotion of island wines, set up his own estate in 2005, after running the family business with his sister for some fifteen years. Today, with his wife Sandrine, he manages 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, which is also often recognized for its Muscats.

Wine rated (guide 2024) 92/100 (Vintage 2022)
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Yves Leccia and his partner Sandrine run a vineyard located mainly on the E Croce and Partinelone plots. The land is ploughed and tilled, and organic fertilizers are used. In recent years, the estate has innovated with new wines such as O Bà, Biancu Marinu and L'Altru Biancu. These carefully-crafted wines remain good ambassadors for Corsican vineyards, but care must be taken not to erase too much of their individuality: some of the wines, more formatted than in the past, give pride of place to technicality.
