A powerful yet elegant red, San Leonardo brings together the colours, aromas and savours of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot aged in small oak barrels, melding them harmoniously into a uniquely intense, full-bodied wine with superb depth of flavour. Before bottling, the precise proportions are decided only after rigorous tasting of samples, barrique by barrique. The early months of maturation in cement tanks are followed by 18-24 months in new and pre-used barriques and then a further 12 months in bottle prior to release. Intense ruby red in colour, the aroma is expressive with balsamic notes, forest fruits, chocolate, tobacco, pepper and elegant nuances of bell pepper. The palate is full, warm and impressively rounded, with intense aromatics that linger on the palate.
