Villa Gresti di San Leonardo
Villa Gresti (named in honour of Marchesi’s ancestor Gemma di Gresti who helped repatriate thousands of Italian prisoners of war from Russia after World War I). An impressive wine for an impressive lady, Villa Gresti is fast closing the gap on San Leonardo and based as it is on a different blend (90% Merlot) from separate vineyards is not a second wine but an alternative expression of the estate’s unique terroir. This leaves many big-name and bigger-price Pomerols in the shade.
“The Merlot dominant cuvée in the San Leonardo range, this has the stuffing and presence to rival many of the Grand Cru Chateaux in the hallowed right bank appellations of St Emilion and Pomerol. Red berries and cherries with soft notes of cassis emerge with classic notes of cigar box and worn leather. Tobacco leaf and milk chocolate also appear on the finish. This is right in its sweet spot with tannins beautifully integrated and very fine." Nick Daniell, Wine Guru
"A very subtle, enticing red that shows dried blackcurrants, dried cedar, walnuts and tobacco. Finely spiced and structured with firm tannins and driven acidity. Drink from 2021." 92 pts, James Suckling
