Tenuta San Leonardo

A history spanning over 300 years. Today Tenuta San Leonardo is a garden of vines and roses protected by the imposing Trentino mountains that dampen the cold northern winds, while the valley floor welcomes Lake Garda. The Tenuta is an ancient world where winery practices, still traditional and artisanal, yield authentic wines, jewels of Italian oenology, distinguished by their freshness, harmony and elegance. The Guerrieri Gonzaga family is at the helm, and it was Marquis Carlo who was the family's first true oenologist, a great lover of viticulture and oenology. He also passed on his love and passion for vines and wine to his son Anselmo, who today guides and administers the company, listening to every choice from the heart that beats for this estate, loved by the whole family. The estate covers an area of 300 hectares, at an altitude of 150 metres above sea level with 30 hectares of red grape vines. The pebbly soil ensures low fertility but good drainage, guaranteeing quality grapes rich in anthocyanins. In accordance with tradition, the old fermentation cellar contains concrete tanks where the red wines ferment spontaneously, without the aid of selected yeasts, with frequent pumping over and fulling. The barrique cellar and archive meticulously store bottles from all San Leonardo vintages and wines that continue to mature in silence and respect for their value. Name and address of producer/distributor: Tenuta San Leonardo - Località San Leonardo, 1 - 38063 - Avio (TN). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
