Domaine Yves Leccia
Yves Leccia, son and grandson of winegrowers, returned to Corsica after earning his oenology degree in 1980, determined to contribute to the island’s revival. His influence has been pivotal—not only in shaping his family estate, but also in elevating Corsican wine through active roles in regional institutions, including the Syndicat des Vins de Pays and the Intersyndicale des AOC de Corse. In 2004, Yves and his wife Sandrine founded Domaine Yves Leccia, beginning with 8 hectares on E Croce and Partinelone, later expanded to 15 hectares through vineyard restructuring and the preservation of heritage grape varieties.
The domaine produces two lines: AOC Patrimonio in three colors, Muscat AOC Cap Corse, and the creative Vin de Pays range "YL." Signature wines include L’Altru Biancu, O Bà!, and Biancu Marinu, showcasing Corsican character with precision and authenticity.
