Yves Leccia - IGP Ile de Beauté - E Croce blanc 2022

ORGANIC

Key words: Racy / Floral / Mineral

The wine: The vintage E Croce blanc from Yves Leccia is quite simply a great Corsican wine. This 100% Vermentino is in fact a distinguished local wine expressing a very nice gourmandise on the palate. Notes of white flowers (hawthorn, honeysuckle) mingle with aromas of peach, pear and apricot, accompanied by a touch of honey. Everything is carried by a minerality salivating bringing freshness as well as a great class to the whole. Magnificent pairings with fish, shellfish but also poultry, foie gras and cheeses can be guessed here! Velvet capable of keeping in the cellar for a good ten years without blinking.

The estate: Yves Leccia no longer needs to be presented in Corsica. His work for more than 40 years has allowed and still allows the uniqueness of the wines of the island of beauty to shine throughout France and the world. In 2004, the latter left the family estate "Leccia" to create his own property with his wife Sandrine. From 6 hectares at the beginning, the couple now farms 15, all cultivated organically in the Patrimonio appellation and its surroundings. The terroirs here are clay-limestone and schistose and most of the vineyard is made up of 4 grape varieties: Vermentinu (Rolle) and Biancu Gentile in white as well as Grenache and Niellucciu in red. Tasting Yves Leccia's wines is like embarking on a fabulous journey to Corsica and being sure not to be disappointed!
