Tasting Note
San Leonardo 2018 is elegant, structured, and impeccably balanced. Aromas of blackcurrant, red cherry, and plum are layered with notes of graphite, cedar, dried herbs, and subtle spice. The palate is precise and refined, showing polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a core of dark fruit that feels both fresh and deeply concentrated. Savoury, mineral-driven, and beautifully composed, it finishes long and graceful—restraint, depth, and harmony in perfect balance.
About the Winery, Production & Critical Reputation
Tenuta San Leonardo is one of Italy’s most revered estates, often described as the “Sassicaia of the North.” Situated in Trentino’s Vallagarina Valley, the estate benefits from cool Alpine influences that lend freshness, precision, and longevity to its wines. The 2018 is a Bordeaux-inspired blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Carmenère and Merlot adding aromatic complexity and texture. Aged in French oak with great restraint, San Leonardo is celebrated for elegance over power. Critics consistently score the wine in the mid-to-high 90s, praising its balance, classical structure, and remarkable aging potential. The 2018 vintage stands as a superb expression of the estate’s timeless, Old World sensibility.
