"Juicy, red berries and powdery tannins—a perfect combination!"

This superb wine from the Isle of Beauty reveals generous aromas of red berries (cherry, raspberry) on the nose, supported by a delicate hint of licorice. The palate is delicious, indulgent, and voluptuous, with supple tannins and a long finish. Indulgence in a bottle!

About the estate:

An oenologist involved in the revival and promotion of island wines, Yves Leccia created his own estate in 2005, after running the family business with his sister for around fifteen years. Today, he and his wife Sandrine manage 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 in the spotlight for its Muscat wines.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; 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 mainly on the E Croce and Partinelone plots. The entire area is plowed and worked, and organic fertilizers are used. The estate has been very innovative in recent years with new wines such as O Bà, Biancu Marinu, and L'Altru Biancu. These carefully crafted wines remain excellent ambassadors for Corsican viticulture, but care must be taken not to obscure their individuality: some wines, more standardized than in the past, give pride of place to technicality.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 09/17/2024

Thanks to a more radiant vintage than 2021, this IGP with hints of Côtes du Rhône is sunny and offers a constant delight. So generous that it displays a whirlwind of flavors of black plum and jammy red berries, combined with beautiful spices that delight the palate, which is at once full of vitality, delicious, and voluptuous, with a graceful taffeta touch. This wave of lively fruit coated with a hint of licorice brings the finish to a close, with great length. A little aging should soften the slight astringency that is still present and allow the slightly tight tannins to melt more fully. But already irresistible, this versatile wine was shared with the family over a dish of Provençal-style headless larks and creamy polenta. Rating = 4.2 for this slightly expensive "thirst-quenching wine."
