Vette Di San Leonardo Sauv Blanc 750ml

Notes of white peach, green peppercorn, and spicy sage. Dry and full-bodied.

Dry, especially acidulous and full-bodied, with outstanding mineral complexity and polish. This wine's name is derived from the imposing mountains that rise above the vineyard where it is grown, and it is a true example of crisp freshness and earthy minerality.

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.

12 hours of low-temperature maceration on the skins, followed by gentle pressing and fermentation for circa 20 days. Aged for 5 months in stainless steel.

Tasting Note

This unique expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Dolomites will tick all the boxes if you tend to go for Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé. Crisp, dry and refreshing with notes of Cantaloupe melon, Amalfi lemon, gooseberry and yellow flowers.
