About the estate:
An oenologist involved in the revival and promotion of island wines, Yves Leccia created his own estate in 2005, after running the family business with his sister for around fifteen years. Today, he and his wife Sandrine manage 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 in the spotlight for its Muscat wines.

About wine:
The style is precise, the wine does not overplay its power. With this grape variety, the search for balance is indeed paramount. A complex white with tremendous length.
About the estate:
Yves Leccia and his partner Sandrine run a vineyard located mainly on the E Croce and Partinelone plots. The entire area is plowed and worked, and organic fertilizers are used. The estate has been very innovative in recent years with new wines such as O Bà, Biancu Marinu, and L'Altru Biancu. These carefully crafted wines remain excellent ambassadors for Corsican viticulture, but care must be taken not to obscure their individuality: some wines, more standardized than in the past, give pride of place to technicality.

Note and opinion by Mr. REMY G. Published on 04/07/2020
Two bottles opened, one of which was unfortunately corked, which is why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5, because otherwise the bottle we drank was a very high-quality wine, a true gastronomic white that paired wonderfully with cod loin.
