Tenuta San Leonardo's namesake wine, San Leonardo, is an extraordinary Italian blend that exudes elegance and sophistication. Masterfully curated from Bordeaux-style grape varieties, it presents an enchanting mix of rich notes including ripe blackberry, plum, chocolate, and vanilla. A silky texture tantalisingly encapsulates these luscious elements, completing the harmonious balance of deep complexity and refined grace. Aged tactically in oak barrels, this wine matures beautifully, revealing a breathtaking depth over time. Highly prized and sought after by wine lovers and collectors, San Leonardo is a delicious testament to Tenuta San Leonardo's vinicultural prowess and the richness of Trentino's terroir.

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
