Here is the gorgeous 2019 release by San Leonardo.

San Leonardo

October 16, 2024

One of the great historic estates in northern Italy, San Leonardo has been family-owned by the Guerrieri Gonzaga family since 1724. Based in the southern end of Trentino in Northern Italy and nestled amongst the Trentino Alps. San Leonardo Winemaker/owner Marchese Carlo, and now his son Anselmo, have been in charge of the winemaking program for many years. Carlo was the first grower in Trentino to use the Guyot vine training method and to avoid pesticides and herbicides. This location has the coolness from the Alps but also has warmth due to its location near Lake Garda.

The new wine came from the 2019 vintage and is a brilliant expression of Northern Italian Bordeaux varietals. A total stunner, the 2019 San Leonardo (OB, 94) is deep, herbal and expressive with a great tannic backbone. It is a beauty that will live on for at least another decade. Learn more about this famed Italian winery at https://www.sanleonardo.it/en/la-storia?srsltid=AfmBOopowlUKk2OxOWVZGD7IBvVjPFVUhjKtAQKkA2tGPGbdiM9bCYDx and here is my review of the new wine by San Leonardo.

2019 San Leonardo Red Wine- A brilliant new release, the 2019 San Leonardo blends 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot with 10% Carmenère. Right away this offers alluring red bell pepper notes with a listing of white pepper alongside rich dark fruits and chocolate on the nose. The palate is rich and viscous with a great sense of texture and underlying tension. Delicious now enjoy over the next ten plus years to come. Drink 2024-2036- 94
