A monastery of over 1000 years heritage (Roman frescoes adorn the old chapel), for over 3 centuries San Leonardo, at the foot of the Dolomites, has served as the residence of the Marquis Guerrieri Gonzaga family, its proud custodians.
Whilst its red Bordeaux grape blends are the most vaunted in Northern Italy their Sauvignon Blanc, a more recent addition to the range, has proven to be a perfect balance between the sophistication of Sancerre and the exuberance of Marlborough.
"This one took me by surprise when tried on their first release - San Leonardo and white wine production did not compute in my mind. However it was a matter of moments to get with the programme."
Tom Harrow, Wine Guru
What the critics say:
"Intense, the 2022 Vette di San Leonardo, a varietal Sauvignon Blanc, explodes from the glass with a spicy blend of grapefruit zest, wild herbs and savory spice. It's silky in texture with juicy acidity and depths of tart citrus fruit and sour melon tones that add a tart tension toward the close. The 2022 leaves the palate completely refreshed yet finishes long, leaving the cheeks puckered with the taster thirsting for more."
"Good intensity of fresh, ripe gooseberries with a hint of sour cream, green mangoes, grapefruit and stones. Fresh and chalky on the palate with zesty acidity that extends to an elegant finish. Drink now."
