Tenuta San Leonardo ‘San Leonardo’ 2020 Review
This wine captures the soul of Italy’s Trentino region, but with an unexpected blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Merlot. Protected by the Alps and cooled by the breezes of Lake Garda, this wine shows the elegance of high elevation fruit. Worn leather and cured tobacco leaf welcome the nose along with a lingering aroma of spiced meat. The palate shows an elegance rooted in that mountain fruit’s balance between refreshing acidity and concentrated character.
