San Leonardo 2018 Tenuta San Leonardo 75 cl

Description

History

Tenuta San Leonardo 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 was already practiced in the surrounding lands. Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries there was a reorganization of the company thanks to the father of the Marquis Carlo, who in turn, a great enthusiast of international wines, revolutionized the winemaking practices. After study trips to Tuscany and Bordeaux, his experiences were successfully brought back into the family business with great results.
