Cuvée Pietra Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga 2020 San Leonardo is an accessible yet luxurious sparkling wine that captures some of the sparkle of Champagne at a far more approachable price.
Few Italian wineries command the respect and international recognition of Tenuta San Leonardo. For centuries, the Guerrieri Gonzaga family has tended these historic vineyards in Trentino’s Vallagarina Valley, producing wines renowned for their finesse, balance and unmistakable sense of place. Often described as “the Sassicaia of the North,” the estate has earned admiration from critics and collectors worldwide. Its reputation reached another milestone in 2025 when Gambero Rosso named it Italy’s Winery of the Year.
Cuvée Pietra Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga 2020 San Leonardo comes from the prestigious Trentodoc DOC, Italy’s benchmark region for traditional-method sparkling wines. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grown at elevations between 400 and 600 metres, the wine undergoes its first fermentation before spending eight months in stainless steel tanks with regular bâtonnage to build texture and complexity. A second fermentation takes place in bottle, followed by an impressive 36 months of ageing on the lees, creating the creamy mousse and beautifully layered aromas that make great sparkling wines so irresistible.
