San Leonardo 2017 Tenuta San Leonardo 75 cl

Description

History

The San Leonardo estate is located in the town of the same name in the province of Trento, near Lake Garda. The estate is a former convent rich in history where, in 1724, the Guerrieri Gonzaga family entered, where viticulture is already being practiced in the surrounding lands. Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries there is a reorganization of the company thanks to the father of the Marquis Carlo, who then in turn, a great lover of international wines, will revolutionize the winemaking practices. After study trips to Tuscany and Bordeaux, his experiences were successfully transferred to the family business with great results.
