Tenuta San Leonardo, Terre Di San Leonardo, 2019

Tenuta San Leonardo is widely acknowledged as the top winery in Trentino, producing some of the most consistent wine in Italy.
Terre is a more youthful version of the critically acclaimed ‘San Leonardo’ wine (known by critics as the “Sassicaia of the North”).

The Terre blend includes a higher percentage of Merlot (40% compared to 10% in the San Leonardo) alongside Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Carmenère (10%). Only 20% of the wine is aged in oak barrels, preserving the freshness of the fruit. At this price point, the wine compares favourably to a warm vintage Pomerol or Saint-Émilion: full of spicy ripe plum and roasted herbs.
