The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Yves Leccia is a renowned ambassador for Corsica and has been awarded a star in the RVF Guide. He is one of the best representatives of the island's terroir. Owning vines on sectors with incredible amounts of schist, called E Croce, this fierce defender of autochthonous grape varieties has 15 hectares of vines in Patrimonio, including the famous parcels of Partinelone, a south-western exposed hillside bathed in sea air.
Wine With its nose of very pure vermentino with a floral tone, the 2022 white Ile de Beauté wine is immediately seductive. The palate is in unison, showing a lot of class and concentration, with a lot of freshness and elegance and delicate bitters on the finish. A perfumed, sapid and delicious wine, which should please the amateurs of delicate and digestible whites! Rated 92+/100 by our Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested, grapes sorted, whole grapes pressed, cold settling at 8°C for 24 hours, fining on must. Fermentation for 15 to 20 days and maturation for 6 months in stainless steel tanks.
