Description
History
The name “Vette” is inspired by the lofty peaks surrounding the vineyards that produce this wine. San Leonardo aimed to craft a cuvée where altitude and mountainous influence express themselves in aromatic tension and fruit purity. The 2024 continues the tradition of steel vinification with lees aging to highlight the cru’s minerality and lightness.
