San Leonardo Cru Night on November 18

Tenuta San Leonardo

The Tenuta was founded in 1982 and the vineyards planted from the mid 1800s to the 1970s, in the ancient borgo of San Leonardo, where even before c.1000 it was known for its grape culture. San Leonardo is sheltered from the north by the Alps and is adjacent to the moderating influence of Lago di Garda, the soils are pebble-rich and sandy (vineyard site were a river bed in prehistory), the summer growing season has large diurnal temperature differences. All of these factors combine to make it an ideal place for great wine.

While there is plenty of history surrounding the San Leonardo Estate (+1000 years); perhaps the last 100 or so have been the most ‘socially and agriculturally’ active. Farmed organically since 2015, the grapes are hand-picked and have a spontaneous fermentation for 15/18 days in concrete tanks, then racked, blended and aged for 24 months in small barrels.

For Cru Night we celebrate this generational labor of art and craft.

• Vette Sauvignon Blanc IGT 2025 

• Terre San Leonardo IGT 2021
