Tasting notes:

Protected from the cold northern winds and benefiting from the warmth of Lake Garda, this unique terroir is certified organic. Aged for 24 months in oak. Aromas of blackcurrant and wild berry fruit, with hints of licorice, savory notes and bitter chocolate. Very elegant and medium bodied cabernet sauvignon blend with plenty of fine tannins and very long finish.

Producer description:

Tenuta San Leonardo represents one of the best expression of Val Lagarina’s wine, a valley in the extreme southern part of the Trentino region. The Guerrieri Gonzaga family have been winemakers here since the 18th century. Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga had a passion and determination to bring the San Leonardo wines to the next level. In the 1960s, he spent time at Tenuta San Guido (the producer of the famous Sassicaia) and even employed their legendary consultant, Giacomo Tachis for a time.

Critic Scores

Robert Parker | 98

This edition from the legendary Tenuta San Leonardo estate in Trentino is presented with an artist-signed label. The special release of 999 bottles features the surreal artwork of Simone Berti. From a cool vintage, the 2018 San Leonardo is incredibly fine and beautiful with a filigree of aromas that recalls wild blackberry, tobacco, pressed rosemary, cherry tartlet and orange marmalade. The wine's elegance is extraordinary, and the mouthfeel is very fine and precise. This classic vintage will certainly appeal to San Leonardo purists. I recommend giving it a long runway to age.

Roasted red chili pepper with tapenade, berries, cedar and tobacco leaves. Very juicy on the palate with plush, silky tannins and a long, fluid finish. Cool and gastronomic. Drink now.
