Yves Leccia - Patrimonio - E Croce rouge 2020

ORGANIC

Key words: Terroir / Power / Complexity

Wine: E Red Croce is an iconic cuvée from the Patrimonio appellation. Carried by a majority of the indigenous Niellucciu grape variety as well as a touch of Grenache, this great Corsican wine expresses in the mouth a beautiful power as well as a sacredcharacter. spicy notes (thyme, pepper, eucalyptus) combine here to our delight with warm black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry) as well as a hint of black olive. The palate is sanguine and offers a tannic base that will allow this bottle to keep for a long time in the cellar. Magnificent pairings with red meats and game seem obvious here! Hello!
