Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
San Leonardo is Trentino's benchmark Bordeaux-style blend, built on Cabernet Sauvignon with Carmenère and a splash of Merlot — a variety the estate kept growing under the Cabernet name for decades before it was identified. Dark fruit, tobacco and cedar sit over a firm, polished tannic frame, with the Carmenère lending a savoury, peppery edge and freshness that keeps the wine lifted through its long finish.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
