Yves Leccia - Patrimonio E Croce rouge 2022
95/100
Jeb Dunnuck
"A cuvée synonymous with pleasure, ideal for discovering Patrimonio PDO".
"Aged entirely in stainless steel vats, this pure Niellucciu E Croce 2022 is a harmonious and full-bodied Patrimonio. The color is an intense garnet with bright highlights. Notes of black plum, orange marmalade, and a touch of spice express themselves on the nose with great refinement and precision. Full-bodied, well-structured and balanced on the palate, the tannins are abundant, silky and perfectly integrated into this powerful wine. One of the most precise wines of the appellation, to be drunk between 2026 and 2028 for optimal liveliness." (Jeb Dunnuck 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.

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.
