The composition of the cuvee of the Tenuta San Leonardo flagship is interesting in itself. The 60% Cabernet Sauvignon is still quite typical for a Bordeaux blend, but the second position is occupied by 30% Carmenère. Of course, this is also an old Bordeaux variety - but it hardly plays a role there any more and is now more associated with Chile. 10% Merlot completes the very unique mix. In the 2018 vintage, international wine critics praised the wine's finesse, mouthfeel and balanced structure across the board. Words such as "aristocratic elegance? are used, and the balance between acidity and the concentrated and highly complex aromas is highly praised. The long ageing horizon is also emphasized several times. Individuality at the highest level.

In contrast to the typical Trentino wines, San Leonardo produces complex, deep red wines from classic Bordeaux grape varieties. Together with the special terroir, they form a unique character. Tenuta San Leonardo originally belonged to a monastery. It has been owned by the Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga for over 300 years.
