Vin Tenuta San Leonardo

More than 1000 years ago a monastery, today Tenuta San Leonardo estate is a garden of vineyards and roses, protected by the massive barrier of the Alps, which blunt the force of the cold northern winds. For over three centuries this wonderful land has served as the residence of the Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga family, its proud custodians. The Tenuta remains an ancient world, where winemaking practices are kept artisanal, uncompromising, yielding wines that are true gems of Italy's winemaking tradition, marked by freshness, harmony and an innate elegance. The heart and soul of San Leonardo have been embodied by the winegrowers of the Guerrieri Gonzaga family since the 18th century. Marchese Carlo's father, a passionate winemaker, first reorganized the estate between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. But Carlo was the family's first true winemaker, his love of great wines leading him to focus almost all of his efforts and time on San Leonardo for over fifty years. This passion for vines and wines he passed on to his son Anselmo, who today runs the family winery.
