Description
“San Leonardo” is the estate’s iconic Bordeaux blend, born in 1984 from the intuition of one of Italy’s most distinguished winemakers, Giacomo Tachis. A classic wine, extraordinarily elegant and long-lived.
Separate vinification first follows Bordeaux tradition: spontaneous fermentation in concrete for about 15-18 days, with daily pumping over and delestage; 24 months in new, second- and third-passage French oak barrels. The blend includes 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Carmenere and 10% Merlot. A result that lends itself to evolution over several decades.
“San Leonardo” wears a very elegant deep ruby red color and shows a smooth and inviting spin. The olfactory notes are dark and absolutely classic: floral of peony and wilted violet, fruity of black cherry and plum, spicy of clove, nuance of tobacco, and mentholated . The palate is powerful and fine: with velvety softness and integrated tannin, it moves through a delicately herbaceous note, closing in a dry finish with saline persistence. A great Bordeaux interpretation, to be spent with roasted red meats, aged cheeses and traditional mountain pasta dishes.
