The development of the San Leonardo winery goes hand-in-hand with the Guerrieri Gonzaga family, winemakers in San Leonardo since the 18th century, who are part of the fascinating centuries-old history of the estate. The long family tradition echoes in every corner of the company. A first reorganization of the estate took place between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century thanks to the father of the Marquis Carlo, who was passionate about enology. But Carlo is the first true winemaker of the family, passionate about great wines for fifty years, he has dedicated almost all of his attention and his time to San Leonardo.
San Leonardo is the magical result of a tradition that is called "Bordeaux cutting" throughout the world. It is symbiotic of dream and tradition, to enjoy a wine that can convey the character and fascination of the identity of the territory. It is made from 20-50 years old Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot vines. Each parcel was handpicked, sorted and vinified separately. The early months of maturation took place in cement tanks followed by 18-24 months in barrique before refining in the bottles for at least 1 year, prior to marketing. This created a powerful and elegant red wine with a very long storage potential.
