Tenuta San Leonardo, San Leonardo 2018
It comes as no surprise that Gambero Rosso has awarded San Leonardo its winery of the year in its 2025 guide. San Leonardo is celebrating 300 years this year, and this extraordinary winery based in Trentino consistently produces some of Italy’s finest wines under the stewardship of the Guerrieri Gonzaga family. It is a true connoisseur’s wine and its 2018 may be one of its greatest vintages yet. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère and Merlot, the wine has all the hallmarks of a great Bordeaux. The hallmark of this wine is purity and precision, depth of luscious blackberries, tobacco, spice, very fine cashmere tannins, perfectly balanced, as beautifully tailored as a Savile Row suit.
