Fruity, dry, apéro time — 3 years ago
This is for the rouge, which was not listed. Lovely vanilla and baking spices on the nose. Very unique! A bit of tannin, but not too much so. On the palate I can't identify a specific thing, but maybe some dark fruits. Wow, never had these grapes before and they are so different than the traditional ones we are familiar with (GSM, for example). Love this! — 4 years ago

This wine has a light pink onion skin color. Its nose is full of strawberry aromas, stems and all, plus some cherry and herbal notes. The palate is full, more so than a typical French rosé. The red fruit is abundant, as are minerals, and the acidity is somewhat tame. Aperitif or poolside sipping would seem appropriate, but pairing with a fruit salad or vegetables is not outside the realm of the possible.

Yves Leccia’s 2019 Île de Beauté IGP Rouge is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Niellucciu, hailing from the northerly appellation of Patrimonio, Corsica.
Île de Beauté – the namesake for many wines produced on the island – translates to ‘island of beauty’ in English.
This is a beautiful wine, indeed. It is medium ruby with ripe cherry, strawberry, and kirsch notes leaping out of the glass; it also offers licorice, fennel, violet, and subtle meaty characteristics. The fruit is unmistakably intense and concentrated. I suspect it’s a reflection of the dry, sun-soaked climate on this beautiful, mountainous Mediterranean Island.
This is such a versatile and food-friendly wine – it’s definitely worth a taste if you have the chance (preferably while gazing upon Corsica’s coastal seascapes). Cheers to the wines of Corsica! — 3 years ago

Moderate plus tannins. Loads of fruits and spices. Enough acidity to keep it light and bright. — a month ago
