San Leonardo 2024 Gemma Rosé from Tenuta di San Leonardo is an elegant, fresh and characterful rosé crafted from the rare Lagrein variety. Beyond its vibrant temperament, it also carries emotional significance, as its name is a tribute to Gemma de Gresti, an ancestor of the family who helped save many lives during the First World War.
Tenuta di San Leonardo, founded in the 18th century, is deeply intertwined with the wine history of Trentino–Alto Adige. It remains a family‑run estate, held by the Gonzaga family since its inception. True to the spirit of a proud Italian, Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga chose not to follow the easy path of the rich, oaky wines fashionable at the time, but instead created the elegant style that defines the estate today — and, as often happens with those who believe in their vision, history proved him right.
San Leonardo 2024 Gemma Rosé is a single‑varietal Lagrein sourced from vines up to 20 years old. The grapes come from a vineyard located within the ancient walls of the monastery that once stood on the family estate in Trentino–Alto Adige. A short maceration gives the wine its pale colour and delicate fruit profile, followed by six months on the lees in stainless steel to build body and structure, allowing it to pair beautifully with food.
If you’re looking for a rosé with personality — one that combines the cool freshness of northern Italy with the spirit of a Mediterranean summer — San Leonardo 2024 Gemma Rosé is your wine.
