"...the 2019 Terre di San Leonardo (6) from the thousand-year-old estate currently celebrating 300 years in the hands of the Guerrieri Gonzaga family. Although just humble IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti, the wines of Tenuta San Leonardo are beloved of those in the know, with the likes of Jancis Robinson, James Suckling and Nicolas Belfrage all praising them. JS even termed San Leonardo ‘the Sassicaia of the north’ and with reason, for their Bordeaux blends are truly fine (and a heck of a lot cheaper than those of Sassicaia). This, the estate’s second wine, is a blend of 50 per cent Cab Sauv, 40 per cent Merlot and 10 per cent Carménère made expressly for early drinking. Honest Grapes have long championed these wines and I’d be astonished if you didn’t love them too. £18.70 down from £19.70."

What the critics say:
"Always a pleasure on the nose, the 2019 Terre di San Leonardo wafts up with crushed raspberry, bay leaf, sage and white pepper aromas. This glides across the the palate, silky and refined, with a lively mix of mineral-tinged red fruits and licorice. It finishes classically dry, yet fresh, with lingering wild berries and pretty inner florals. There's a lovely alpine feel to the 2019, a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Carmenere."
