Description
Yves Leccia YL Rosé is a pure, straightforward and easy-drinking wine, lively and precise, far removed from any technical complexity. It possesses a refreshing vibrancy. YL Rosé forms part of the estate’s signature range, bearing the hallmark of the magnificent Partinelone terroir. The colour is bright, the nose is very inviting; there are aromas of red fruits. On the palate, it is fresh, easy-drinking and slightly tart. A lovely, lingering finish.
