Terre Di San Leonardo 750ml

On the palate, this wine is dry, soft, and well-balanced, with a pleasing bitter twist on the finish, and good aromatic length.

Terre, a Bordeaux blend like San Leonardo and from the same terroir, follows in the footsteps of its 'elder brother', here with remarkable crispness and enviable balance.

More than 1,000 years ago, it was a monastery, but for over three centuries now San Leonardo has served as the residence of the Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga family, its proud custodians. Today, the San Leonardo estate is a garden of vineyards and roses, protected by the massive barrier of the Alps, which bears the force of the cold northern winds, while the valley floor benefits from, and in turn releases, warmth from nearby Lake Garda. The tenuta remains an ancient world, in which winemaking practices, still uncompromisingly artisanal, yield wines that are true gems of Italy’s wine tradition, marked by freshness, harmony, and an innate elegance.

Spontaneous 15-18 day fermentation in small concrete vats with periodic pumpovers and délestage. Matured 80% in concrete vats and 20% in French oak barrels.

Tasting Note

The second wine from the San Leonardo estate balances aromas of black fruit, roasted onion, mushrooms and chocolate. In the mouth, the wine displays dark fruits flavours such as blackcurrant and black plum alongside well integrated oak aromas of sweet spice, smoke and vanilla. Boasts layers of dark fruit flavours, fresh acidity and a very long finish.
