Deeply rooted in the history and winemaking tradition of Trentino-Alto Adige, the Vigneti Delle Dolomiti IGT - San Leonardo from Tenuta San Leonardo is a red wine that embodies the excellence and enological passion of this renowned Italian region. This wine is the result of a clever blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmenère grapes, grown in carefully selected vineyards framed by the majestic Dolomites.
To the eye, it presents with a deep and intense ruby color, a prelude to a complex and well-balanced structure. On the nose, the Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT unfolds a rich and multifaceted bouquet, characterized by notes of ripe forest fruits, dark spices, and a subtle hint of tobacco and chocolate, imparted by aging in French oak barriques.
On the palate, the wine reveals itself as full and enveloping, with silky tannins that blend harmoniously with a vibrant freshness. The aftertaste is persistent, leaving room for reflections of black coffee and vanilla, a result of balanced aging.
Aged for 18-24 months in oak barrels, followed by further maturation in the bottle, this wine is ideal to accompany robust dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its complexity and elegance also make it perfect as a meditative wine.
With its distinctive character and refinement, the Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT - San Leonardo from Tenuta San Leonardo represents a prestigious addition to any wine collection and an excellent gift for the most discerning connoisseurs.

Winery history
The property occupies a medieval village on the left bank of the Adige. Monastic origins, a residential core and the family villa characterize the estate. The Guerrieri Gonzaga family has been present in San Leonardo for centuries, and Villa Gresti is the family's historic residence; part of the complex houses a museum preserving documents and objects related to the estate's agricultural life.
Production philosophy
Focused on expressing the terroir, with careful vineyard management and traditional winemaking practices: Bordeaux-style blends, spontaneous fermentations in small concrete vats, and extended ageing in wood and in bottle. In recent years the estate has also moved toward more sustainable practices, and the conversion of the vineyards to organic farming has been reported by commercial and industry sources.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in Vallagarina, in the far south of Trentino, amid a strip of vineyards sheltered by the mountains and bathed by the Adige River; the landscape is marked by alluvial hills and the nearby Dolomites, elements that influence the freshness and structure of the wines.
