Tenuta San Leonardo

Tenuta San Leonardo stands on a particular historic site, with the estate mentioned as the location for a royal wedding as far back as 588AD. The first vines were planted here around 1215, when a monastery was established in the area.

Nowadays, the team preside over 25 hectares of vines, situated around 150-200 metres above sea level. Soils are nutrient-poor but have good natural drainage, ensuring the production of clean, concentrated fruit which expresses true varietal flavour as well as capturing the essence of this truly historic terroirs.

The estate’s flagship bottling is made in an unashamedly elegant style, emphasising subtlety over power. Ripe forest fruits and fine tannins are complemented by a complex array of tobacco, spice and herb flavours, whilst the bright acidity brings freshness and vivacity.
