Villa Gresti, an enchanting product from Tenuta San Leonardo, is a remarkable wine that stands out for its elegance and complexity. This Veneto region wine offers a blend of Merlot and Carménère. Unveiling notes of ripe red fruits, spice, and cocoa, it holds a hint of earthiness beneath its polished surface. The plush tannins and prolonged finish add to its refinement. Matured in French oak barrels, Villa Gresti illustrates the art of Italian winemaking in every sip. Its rich, opulent character makes it a splendid choice for celebrating special occasions or savouring alongside a fine dining experience.

Tasting Notes

Dried cumin, tobacco, cedar, walnuts and hazelnuts punctuate the glazed blackcurrants and blackberries also on offer. Full-bodied and fleshy on the palate with plenty of generosity and density yet marvellous structure and panache.
