Rarely do we come across a "once in a lifetime" release.  The 2019 San Leonardo Vigneti delle Dolomiti, the winery's flagship wine, is that release!

Tucked away in the foothills of the Dolomites, Tenuta San Leonardo is producing some of Italy’s most revered wines, the vineyards of which are protected by the massive barrier of the alps. With a lineage tracing back over a thousand years and a Bordeaux-inspired approach perfected over generations, San Leonardo has earned its place among the world’s most distinguished estates.

The 2019 San Leonardo Dolomiti is a rare jewel—one that rivals the great châteaux of France while remaining resolutely Italian at heart.  The wine is made from grapes cascading off a 1,000-year-old ancient wall.

Better Than Most Bordeaux, Surpassing Several Super Tuscan Titans

Rivaling First Growth Bordeaux and the elite Super Tuscan Titans, Ornellaia and Sassicaia, San Leonardo Dolomiti is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which thrives in the clay soils of the Alps.  Each varietal leaves its fingerprint on the blend, integrating layers to this wine in perfect harmony.

"The 2019 opens with the most gorgeous, complex fragrance of sage, menthol and clove, slightly creamy black berries, damp earth and spice. In the mouth it's really intense, textured and precise; a core of ripe black berries and some red fruit touches, framed by wood, tobacco and fine, supple tannins. There's a ferrous, saline vein coursing through the centre, and it reaches a lingering finish showcasing sapid dark berries, balsamic herbs and gentle spice, evolving into fresh and dried cherry as it strides away into the sunset. Generous yet beautifully poised, this is among the finest vintages of Tenuta San Leonardo so far." Decanter

Gambero Rosso, Italy's most prestigious wine guide, has named San Leonardo Vigneti delle Dolomiti the 2024 Winery Of The Year.  With 27 Tre Bicchieri awards under its belt, 25 are for its flagship San Leonardo wine.  With multiple Top 100 Awards, the 2019 San Leonardo Dolomiti is an essential for any enthusiast or collector.
