Hailing from Trentino, San Leonardo is the iconic wine of the estate, with its roots deep in history. A classic Bordeaux blend of breed, aristocratic elegance, and extraordinary longevity. A harmonious marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot. A profile of blackberries and plums with hints of peppery and floral complexity.

- Another year in bottle has added unexpected depths and dimension to the 2016 San Leonardo. It wafts up with an alluring bouquet of smoky black currant and plum skins, complicated by savory herbs, hints of white pepper and fresh tobacco. It's hard chiseled edges have formed into smooth contours now, velvety yet youthfully dense, washing mineral encased dark red and black berries across a core of brisk acidity as a combination of saline-minerals and grippy tannins add tension toward the close. This finishes incredibly long yet also structured, begging for time in the cellar, as hints of licorice and earth tones grumble under an air of inner violet florals. The potential within the 2016 San Leonardo is off the charts, yet it will require a good amount of time to come fully into focus. Bury your bottles deep.
