Yves Leccia - Patrimonio E Croce rouge 2022
95/100
Jeb Dunnuck
“A wine that’s pure pleasure, perfect for discovering the Patrimonio AOP”
“Aged entirely in stainless steel tanks, this pure Niellucciu E Croce 2022 is a harmonious, full-bodied Patrimonio. The color is an intense garnet with brilliant highlights. Notes of black plum, orange marmalade, and a hint of spice unfold 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 appellation’s most precise wines, best enjoyed between 2026 and 2028 for optimal vibrancy.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2025)

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
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.
