Information
About the producer

In the heart of the Patrimonio appellation, in the commune of Poghju d'Oletta, domaine d'Yves Leccia is one of the oldest properties. Winegrowing became the Leccia family's main business in around 1900. Pierrot and Angèle passed the property onto their children in the 1980s, one of whom, Yves, set up his own operation some years later. Today, it is his sister Annette who manages the original domain, whose magnificent Petra Bianca plot produces the wine of the same name. The property also produces a Muscat. The property is in the process of obtaining Ecocert organic certification.
This pure Nielluccio, produced from clay-limestone soil, is aged in vats for 24 months. It is a delicate, precise wine, with lovely aromas of red and black ripe fruit, underscored by light floral and menthol notes. Complex and powerful, the palate presents good flavourful substance, characterized by great finesse and a fresh finish, evolving towards elegant tannins. Keep for: 5 to 6 years.

About the wine

Supple and rich at once, this red Patrimonio is remarkably fluid, lifted by notes of red fruits and liquorice. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, allowing for elegant pairings with red meat. Drink this wine in its youth to enjoy its bouquet of fruit, liquorice and cocoa. The Nieulluciu is farmed with great care: the grapes are picked only when perfectly ripe. In the winery, they undergo daily pumping over and élevage takes place in stainless-steel vats for 18 months.
