The estate : Yves Leccia needs no introduction in Corsica. His dedicated work for over 40 years has enabled and continues to showcase the uniqueness of the wines of the Ile de Beauté throughout France and the world. In 2004, he left the family estate "Leccia" to create his own property with his wife Sandrine. From 6 hectares at the start, the couple now cultivates 15, all organically farmed in the Patrimonio appellation and its surroundings. The terroirs here are clay-limestone and schist, and the majority of the vineyard is composed of 4 grape varieties:  Vermentinu (Rolle) and  Biancu Gentile for the whites, as well as Grenache and Niellucciu for the reds. Tasting Yves Leccia's wines means  embarking on a fabulous journey to Corsica and being sure not to be disappointed!
