"You can almost hear the cicadas singing when you open this floral and fruity rosé!"

Yves Leccia’s E Croce rosé is the perfect companion for festive gatherings. This blend of saignée and press wine is vinous, full-bodied, and rich, with a lovely, refreshing structure. It reveals a very distinct floral and fruity character and features a slightly spicy and mineral finish that lingers on the palate. Enjoy it as an aperitif or with spicy Mediterranean dishes. Simply delicious!

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.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100 (2022 vintage)

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 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 soil amendments 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.
