Terre di San Leonardo 2020 Tenuta San Leonardo
The Terre di San Leonardo 2020 embodies the refined and timeless style of Tenuta San Leonardo, one of Italy’s most acclaimed estates and often described as “a monument to Bordeaux on Italian soil”. Nestled in the Vallagarina valley, the estate has built its reputation on wines that express both the elegance of the great French blends and the unique character of Trentino.
This wine is crafted from a classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenère, varieties that thrive in the estate’s cool, alpine-influenced climate. The gravelly, well-drained soils contribute freshness, finesse and a distinct mineral backbone, shaping a wine that is structured yet incredibly graceful.
Ageing plays a central role in the identity of Terre di San Leonardo: 80% of the wine matures for 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks, while 20% rests in barriques for 6 months. This dual approach allows the blend to develop depth and complexity without overpowering the purity of the fruit.
In the glass, Terre di San Leonardo 2020 shows a bright ruby-red colour and an expressive bouquet of red berries, plum, subtle herbal tones and refined spicy notes. On the palate, it is smooth, dry and perfectly balanced, with polished tannins and vibrant freshness that drive the wine towards a long, elegant and slightly bitter finish.
Already enjoyable in its youth, this wine also offers excellent ageing potential, evolving gracefully in bottle for more than 5 years. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a Bordeaux-inspired Italian red that combines quality, precision and remarkable value.
