It was 1982 when the Marquis Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga developed an innovative winemaking technique, giving life to what would become one of the most famous Italian Bordeaux blends: he decided to parcel out the land and vinify each variety separately to keep its character unchanged. Only before bottling and after aging for 24 months in French oak barriques were the wines that then made the San Leonardo assembled.

Intense ruby red; seductive olfactory complexity, it opens with hints of berries, continues with balsamic notes, undergrowth, tobacco and aromatic herbs. On the palate it is lively and elegant, it shows a perfect taste-olfactory correspondence, refined tannins, great balance and depth. The finish is of great persistence.
