San Leonardo Villa Gresti 2018 is a Bordeaux‑style blend from the cool region of Trentino, embodying the philosophy of the family behind the San Leonardo winery. If we had to describe it in a single word, that word would be elegance.
Tenuta di San Leonardo is located in Trentino–Alto Adige and has remained in the hands of the Gonzaga family since the 18th century. They craft wines from both local and international varieties, sourced from their own vineyards, proving that this small corner of Northern Italy is capable of producing wines as great as those from far more famous regions of the country.
San Leonardo Villa Gresti 2018 is made from the international varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Carménère. The wine ferments spontaneously in small cement tanks. After that, it matures for 18 months in medium‑toast French oak barrels, gaining aromatic complexity and rounding out its tannins. Before release, it spends an additional 18-month aging in the bottle, ensuring it is ready to enjoy as soon as it reaches the market.
