Tenuta San Leonardo San Leonardo
Varietal: Red Blend
Bottle Size: 750 mL
Region: Italy
Rich Red Wines
Intense ruby red color with garnet highlights. A wine of remarkable intensity on the nose, which layers bell peppers and wild berries over a background note of vanilla. The palate is full, warm and impressively rounded, with intense aromatics that linger on the palate.
Ideal with poultry, red meats, roasts, braises, game and aged cheeses.
2014 Vintage Scores:
Tasted as a preview sample from bottle, the 2014 San Leonardo is set to be released in April or May of 2019. This vintage still needs time in the bottle to flesh out and take on more volume. In its youth, the wine takes longer to open. However, it already shows that characteristic San Leonardo pedigree with extremely polished tannins followed by bright fruit intensity with plum, spice and dried mountain herb. The wine's acidity adds to the glossy and bright personality of this mid-weight vintage.
