Yves Leccia Patrimonio Rouge 2017

The Leccias have been making wine from some of the finest terroirs of Patrimonio for countless generations, and there was never the least doubt in Yves’ mind that he would continue the tradition. Originally working alongside his sister, he decided to branch off on his own in 2004 and focus on the single terroir he felt was the top in Patrimonio. This terroir, "E Croce," sits on a thin chalk soil above a thick bedrock of pure schist, facing the gulf of St. Florent.

Blend: 90% Nielluciu, 10% Grenache.

Deep fruit flavored aromas that are spicy and intricate with underlying licorice. Tannic elements are apparent but tend to merge out in the long and succulent finish.
