"Superb Vermentino from Corsica, complex and mineral"
"Light and fragrant nose with notes of hawthorn. A sunny abundance of white peaches and bergamot in a bright, tangy setting, punctuated with salty notes. Creamy parabolic curves transform citrus fruits into lemon cream and candied peel. Sweet, sugary, bright green herbs: basil, lemon balm, angelica. Very fragrant. Very pure. Mineral finish, cold and damp, like wet pebbles." (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.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rating (2025 guide) 91/100 (Outstanding wine)
About wine:
The E Croce Blanc 2024 reveals aromas of white flowers, curry leaves, ripe orchard fruits, and iodine, followed by a moderately full-bodied, round, and supple palate with a delicately fleshy fruit core, lively acids, and a long, salty finish. Elegant and fragrant, it is an ideal introduction to Corsican white wines.

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:
Light yellow with green highlights. A very pure Vermentinu with a beautiful mineral sparkle and floral and orgeat notes. The palate offers a light, chiseled, thirst-quenching structure. Not intended for aging, it offers immediate pleasure, perfect as an aperitif or with grilled fish.
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.

About wine:
Patrimonio E-Croce 2024 comes from one of Patrimonio's finest terroars, composed of clay-limestone soil interspersed with schist, which gives the wine a devilish precision and makes it a powerful expression of Vermentinu. In 2024, the wine expresses itself with notes of stone and a well-found reduction. The texture is pure, lively, balanced, and very dynamic. A mineral wine, vinified with talent and great style, it is a lively and fresh white to be enjoyed now and until 2030.
