James Suckling
“Juicy, with notes of red berries and velvety tannins—a perfect combination!”
This superb wine from the Isle of Beauty reveals generous aromas of red berries (cherry, raspberry) on the nose, complemented by a delicate hint of licorice. On the palate, it is rich, indulgent, and voluptuous, with supple tannins and a long finish. Pure indulgence in a bottle!

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.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
A beautiful red color—translucent, vibrant, and intense—revealing notes of wild berries, toasted herbs, black pepper, and a hint of charred bark. A medium-bodied wine with lively acidity. Lively and precise, it offers a silky texture and a savory, lingering finish. Made from organically grown grapes. Enjoy now or celller.
