2020 Tenuta San Leonardo Terre di San Leonardo

Terre, a Bordeaux blend like San Leonardo and from the same terroir, follows in the footsteps of its “elder brother,” here with remarkable crispness and enviable balance.

Intense, and vivid ruby colour. Clear, fruity, slightly spicy and balsamic noes. Notes of raspberry, aromatic herbs, and dark cherry. Very pleasant and deliciously drinkable palate. 

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenère

Terre was first produced in the 2005 vintage. In the early 2000s, new vineyards of Cabernet Sauvignon were planted, which produced excellent wines but were too young to be used in the Grand Vin, San Leonardo. This led to the desire to create a true second wine which could express the essence of our terroir with a fresher and more immediate style.

 The vines that give rise to Terre are located within the ancient walls of the monastery. Light and sandy for Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère; clayey with excellent drainage for Merlot.
