Refined alpine Bordeaux blend from Trentino. Structured maturity and mineral precision in a 2011 vintage.
This 2011 San Leonardo Terre from Tenuta San Leonardo in Trentino presents itself with considerable restraint and integrity, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmenère cultivated in the alpine foothills of northern Italy. The wine demonstrates the characteristic elegance of mountain-grown Bordeaux varieties, with structured tannins and moderate alcohol at 13 percent, allowing both acidity and subtle dark fruit to emerge with measured precision. Nearly fifteen years from vintage, this Terre has acquired the patina of proper maturation, offering a contemplative expression of terroir over obvious fruit expression. Pair this wine with herb-crusted lamb or aged Trentino cheeses during cooler months.
