Tenuta San Leonardo, San Leonardo, 2013

"One of my personal favourite Italian wines, unquestionably the top winery in the region and renowned as one of the most consistent – stylistically and qualitatively – in the whole of Italy, YET its wines remain extremely well-priced by comparison to more widely publicised names."
Tom Harrow, Honest Grapes Wine Director

For over fifteen years we’ve championed San Leonardo, the Guerrieri Gonzaga family’s remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend, and the critical acclaim keeps coming. Nicolas Belfrage once noted its “elegance-cum-depth capable of taking on the best clarets,” while Jancis Robinson praises its “astoundingly consistent quality” and calls it “surely the most successful Bordeaux blend of Northern Italy.”

The estate’s ties to Sassicaia run deep—Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga worked alongside Giacomo Tachis at Tenuta San Guido before bringing that expertise home. Comparisons abound: James Suckling dubbed it “the Sassicaia of the North,” and Monica Larner describes it as “one of the great wines of Italy.” With seventeen 'Tre Bicchiere' awards and top ratings year after year, San Leonardo remains one of Italy’s most distinguished and Bordeaux-like reds.
