Product Notes
Tenuta San Leonardo San Leonardo is a historic winery located in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of northern Italy. The estate has a long and interesting history, with the main villa dating back to the 18th century. The property was acquired by the Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga family in the early 20th century and has been in their hands ever since. Today, San Leonardo is one of the most respected wine producers in Italy, known for their classic Bordeaux-style blends crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmenere. The wines are aged in French oak barrels for up to two years to achieve a balanced, elegant flavour profile. The estate's vineyards are located at high altitudes, allowing for slow maturation and the development of complex aromas and flavours. Tenuta San Leonardo San Leonardo is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history and culture of Italian wine.
Tasting Notes
This wine is likely to have the broadest drinking window of any modern San Leonardo. Despite the deep purple colour, it is already open and generous on the nose, with vivid ripe morello cherry fruit. The gentle extraction has imbued the wine with a cashmere texture even at this young stage, while the palate is lifted by the leafy, currant-bud notes that are San Leonardo’s signature, reflecting as they do the influence of cool air flowing down from the Dolomites. Balance, charm, and great ageing potential – this San Leonardo has it all
