San Leonardo
About San Leonardo
Trentino's San Leonardo is dubbed the Sassicaia of Northern Italy for a good reason; San Leonardo’s owner, Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga, spent time at Tenuta San Guido (the producer of Sassicaia) in the 1960s, and even employed the same consultant, the legendary Giacomo Tachis, as the fabled estate.
His incomparable pedigree extends way beyond the training with Tachis. Having inspired by the greatest minds of both Bordeaux and Italian winemaking, Gonzaga also worked under the late Émile Peynaud, the world's most influential enologist, before returning to his family's estate. Now taking charge of the ancestral property, he works closely with the fabled Italian winemaker Carlo Ferrini, the forger of multiple 100 point scores at Tenuta Giodo, who occupies a consulting role at San Leonardo.

Wine Advocate (97+)The 2015 San Leonardo pours forth with a beautiful velvety appearance and sultry dark garnet color. This wine shows a lot of life and dark fruit purity with black plum, blackberry, cassis and tarry prune. There is a delightful note of black pepper that is specific to this warm and sunny vintage. The fruit shows softer and richer concentration compared to past vintages and more pulpy density that gives this edition a bigger profile in terms of mouthfeel. Production is 75,000 bottles. San Leonardo is a wine made for long aging, but the nice thing about this vintage is that the bouquet remains quite accessible at this young age. Nevertheless, I'd still suggest keeping this bottle in your cellar so that it can calmly finish its evolution. |

Vinous (96)Another year in bottle has added unexpected depths and dimension to the 2016 San Leonardo. It wafts up with an alluring bouquet of smoky black currant and plum skins, complicated by savory herbs, hints of white pepper and fresh tobacco. It's hard chiseled edges have formed into smooth contours now, velvety yet youthfully dense, washing mineral encased dark red and black berries across a core of brisk acidity as a combination of saline-minerals and grippy tannins add tension toward the close. This finishes incredibly long yet also structured, begging for time in the cellar, as hints of licorice and earth tones grumble under an air of inner violet florals. The potential within the 2016 San Leonardo is off the charts, yet it will require a good amount of time to come fully into focus. Bury your bottles deep. |

Wine Advocate (95)The Tenuta San Leonardo 2017 San Leonardo (in a heavy glass bottle) shows subtle but unmistakable generosity and exuberance that is absolutely in line with this hot vintage. In this regard, the 2017 stands apart from past vintages from this estate that is celebrated for its elegant, undertone and long-term approach. This wine is slightly more accessible too, with plush, dark fruit, balanced oak spice and perfumed rose over a polished, silky mouthfeel. |

Wine Advocate (98)This edition from the legendary Tenuta San Leonardo estate in Trentino is presented with an artist-signed label. The special release of 999 bottles features the surreal artwork of Simone Berti. From a cool vintage, the 2018 San Leonardo is incredibly fine and beautiful with a filigree of aromas that recalls wild blackberry, tobacco, pressed rosemary, cherry tartlet and orange marmalade. The wine's elegance is extraordinary, and the mouthfeel is very fine and precise. This classic vintage will certainly appeal to San Leonardo purists. I recommend giving it a long runway to age. |

For decades, this has been the benchmark red of Trentino, possessing the ability to mature into a Grand Vin of Italy. Even with the onset of global warming, San Leonardo has maintained remarkable balance and a classical build, perfectly exemplified by the 2019. |
