"A white wine that smells divinely of the South!"
White flowers and green apple, creamy green olives, the sweet-spicy green of bay leaves. Green almonds. A back-and-forth of contrasts. The sweetness of jasmine, the petal-like texture of the wine, the acidity that resembles a sigh, almond cream. But then there is the salty whistle that rises and rushes in, like the foam of waves crashing on the beach. A hint of bitterness. A hardness of sea glass that does not yield. A touch of white pepper on the finish." (Jancis Robinson 2025)

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.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 91/100
Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About wine:
Citron peel, floral notes, beautiful brightness; precise and taut on the palate, fresh, with good energy and balance. Its natural tension, lightness, and refined style make it ideal as an aperitif, then with food, for three years.
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.
