ADDITIONAL NOTES:

San Leonardo is the flagship wine of the winery of the same name, rooted in the thousand-year history of this land in the far south of Trentino. A classico Bordeaux blend of great elegance and extraordinary longevity, it was born from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère and Merlot. The vigna are located within the ancient walls of a monastery, with light, sandy soils for the Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère, clay with excellent drainage for the Merlot. The vines, aged between 25 and 75 years, grow at altitudes ranging from 120 to 300 meters above sea level, exposed between southwest and northwest.

Fermentation takes place spontaneously in small concrete tanks, with 12-15 days' maceration and frequent pumping over. After racking, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in the same tanks, where it remains in decantation for several months. Aging continues for 24 months, in which 70% of the wine matures in barrique and 30% in medium-toasted French oak tonneaux, with first, second and third passage wood. After final blending, the wine is bottled and rests for at least another 24 months in the cellar before release.
