Brimming with redcurrant and blackcurrant aromas, together with notes of mint and sage and a touch of spice. On the mid-weight palate there’s an excellent balance of restrained juiciness, healthy tannin and nice freshness. Still youthful. A cuvée of 50% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot and 10% carmenere.

The 2018 Terre di San Leonardo is peppery and floral with crushed wild berries and pomegranate. This is a soft and focused expression, with an inner herbal character and tart red and black berries that cascade across its mineral core. It leaves a staining of primary concentration and hints of sour citrus, along with a coating of round tannins that frames the expression well. The 2018 has a lean and very classic San Leonardo personality. That said, it will be best enjoyed with a meal.
Wine Spectator
A fresh red, with hints of iron and loamy earth underscoring blackberry, rose hip and cigar box notes layered with crisp tannins. Spiced finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenere. Drink now. 8,000 cases made, 1,200 cases imported.
Winery
COLOR: Brilliant ruby red with attractive depth. NOSE: The aromas are alcohol and fruit-rich when the wine is young, mellowing with bottle aging into ripe plum fruit layered over a faintly grassy background note. FLAVOR: Dry, soft and well-balanced on the palate, it reveals a pleasing bitterish twist in the finish. Good aromatic length.

Region: Trentino/Alto Adige

The Italian wine region of Trentino-Alto Adige is often considered to be Italy's finest and most unique wine region, with centuries of history, and a range of different influences coming from the region's proximity to Germanic countries, as well as places like Lombardy and Venezia. However, it is usually Trentino-Alto Adige's alpine nature which causes wine fans to become the most excited, as the beautiful terroir in the foothills of the Italian Alps produce wines which are packed full of fascinating and unique attributes, due to the crystal mountain waters and plentiful minerals present in the soils of the vineyards. The three native grape varietals of the area are still used in Trentino-Alto Adige's wines, however, it is more common to find excellent imported grapes listed on the region's bottles, as great success has been had with Pinot Gris, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes over the years.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
