"A white that smells divinely of the South!"
White flowers and green apple, creamy green olives, the sweet-spicy green of bay leaves. Green almonds. A back-and-forth of contrasts. The sweetness of jasmine, the petal-like texture of the wine, the acidity that resembles a sigh, almond cream. But then there is the salty whistle that rises and rushes in, like the foam of waves crashing on the beach. A hint of bitterness. A hardness of sea glass that does not yield. A touch of white pepper on the finish." (Jancis Robinson 2025)

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 (2026 guide) 91/100
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 wine:
Citron peel, floral notes, beautiful brightness; precise and taut on the palate, fresh, with good dynamism and balance. Its natural tension, lightness, and refined style make it ideal as an aperitif, then with food, for three years.
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.
