A parcel of San Leonardo 2021, and the 2026 edition of ARTE (75cl)
For ARTE, a contemporary artist is invited to create a memento of the history and identity of the San Leonardo Estate. Each edition symbolically begins and ends at the beginning of spring, following the seasonal cycle of wine production, and unfolds in different moments: residency, research, design and production.
This fourth edition (San Leonardo, 2021 vintage) features a project designed by Chiara Camoni specifically for the “greenhouse” space. Composed of five elements - three plant impressions on silk and two glazed stoneware sculptures - the work is conceived as a direct dialogue with the estate’s greenhouse.
"...there is little reason to doubt that 2021 ranks among the most complete and cellar-worthy San Leonardo releases in recent years."
Raffaele Mosca, Decanter
Tenuta San Leonardo has been crafting Italy's most distinguished Bordeaux-style blend in the Dolomite foothills since the 1980s, and the 2021 vintage shows why their reputation extends far beyond Trentino. The estate's flagship wine combines Cabernet Sauvignon with Carménère and Merlot from vineyards that benefit from dramatic diurnal temperature swings and mineral-rich soils.
What the critics say:
"Slightly riper on the nose than both 2019 and 2020, the 2021 San Leonardo shows notes of blackberry yoghurt, graphite-laced cassis and cedar mingling with signature bell pepper touches from the generous Carmenere component, and a refreshing balsamic lift. Powdery dark chocolate and undergrowth add further complexity as it breathes. The palate is more tightly wound than the aromatics suggest: bright acidity runs alongside grippy yet fully integrated tannins, supported by just enough creamy, structural red and black fruit to avoid austerity. At 13% alcohol, the finish is ample rather than warm, with a peppery echo bringing extra liveliness, and a saline edge carrying through the aftertaste. A multilayered, shape-shifting San Leonardo that won't require long ageing to be fully enjoyable – yet it has the energy and depth to last several decades."
