Vineyards of the Dolomites IGT 'Vette di San Leonardo' 2024 (750 ml.) Tenuta San Leonardo
The Vette di San Leonardo is a pure Sauvignon Blanc from the hilly vineyards of Trentino, at the foot of the Dolomites, where the strong temperature variations promote intense aromas and vibrant acidity. The grapes, harvested by hand at perfect ripeness, undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve the aromatic component. This is followed by a brief aging always in steel, which enhances the freshness, minerality, and elegant structure. On the nose, it releases notes of citrus, sage, white peach, and tropical fruit, while on the palate it is slim, savory, and persistent, ideal with fish and vegetable dishes.

THE WINE
The Vette di San Leonardo is a pure Sauvignon Blanc from the hilly vineyards of Trentino, at the foot of the Dolomites, where strong temperature variations promote intense aromas and vibrant acidity. The grapes, harvested by hand at perfect ripeness, undergo vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve the aromatic component. This is followed by a short maturation always in steel, which enhances the freshness, minerality, and elegant structure. On the nose, it releases notes of citrus, sage, white peach, and tropical fruit, while on the palate it is slender, savory, and persistent, ideal with fish and vegetable dishes.
THE ESTATE
Few other Italian wineries have managed to safeguard and enhance their territory in the style of the great French châteaux, as Tenuta San Leonardo has done in Trentino. A magical place, in the heart of Vallagarina, where the traces of vine cultivation date back to a thousand years ago. A model winery, composed of hundreds of hectares of land, hosting about thirty hectares planted with varieties that have now become traditional: cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, carmenère, petit verdot, and merlot, as well as riesling and sauvignon blanc. Owned by the Guerrieri Gonzaga family, Tenuta San Leonardo has over the years produced some of the most iconic wines not only of Trentino but of all Italy. The namesake label, “San Leonardo,” is indeed one of the most famous and awarded Bordeaux blends in the Peninsula: a wine of incredible elegance and longevity, born in 1982 and produced only in the most important vintages since then. In addition to the owned vineyards, today there are ten more hectares leased, and among the rows, the utmost respect for the environment and ecosystem is constantly pursued. In the cellar, in a sort of ideal continuity with Giacomo Tachis, since 1999 the winemaking signature has been that of the famous oenologist Carlo Ferrini, who supervises all production steps with care and rigor. Coordinating everything and everyone is the insatiable and tireless passion of Marquis Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga, who, helped by his son Anselmo and the historical and irreplaceable right-hand man Luigi Tinelli, meticulously follows every single detail. The result of this sum is wines that stand out for their finesse and elegance, vibrant and decisive reds and whites, capable of truly evoking emotions. From “San Leonardo” to the sister labels, every bottle that leaves the estate in Borghetto all’Adige encapsulates the truest and best essence of a territory capable of providing enormous oenological satisfaction.
