WINE DESCRIPTION
For over 1000 years, Tenuta San Leonardo has evolved from a monastery to the residence of the Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga, dedicated to preserving its legacy. Nestled in Trentino's Alpine foothills, it ranks among the region's top wineries, renowned for its eponymous red wine. Shielded by mountains from cold winds, Lake Garda's cool breezes aid grape growth. With just 30 hectares of vineyards on its 300-hectare estate, organic farming underscores their nature commitment. San Leonardo Carmenère, sourced from exceptional vineyards, epitomizes the producer's expertise and commitment to excellence.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
San Leonardo Carmenère is a captivating wine.With its deep ruby color and medium to full body, this wine offers a rich and velvety texture on the palate.
On the nose, San Leonardo Carmenère delights with aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and plums, accompanied by hints of tobacco and spices. These complex aromas create an enticing bouquet that invites you to explore further.
The palate is equally impressive, with flavors of dark fruits, such as blackberries and blackcurrants, taking center stage. These flavors are complemented by notes of chocolate, coffee, and a touch of vanilla, adding depth and complexity to the wine. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and elegant mouthfeel.
San Leonardo Carmenère is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully. Its balanced acidity and structured tannins contribute to its aging potential, allowing the wine to develop further complexity and depth over time.
