San Leonardo
The Guerrieri Gonzagas are one of the great families in Italian wine. Over the years, the Guerrieri Gonzagas have produced a number of stellar Bordeaux-influenced reds at San Leonardo, many of which I have had the privilege to taste. The 2007 San Leonardo does not appear to be one of the very best vintages of this iconic Bordeaux-inspired red. The new Sauvignon Blanc is a welcome addition to the range. ANTONIO GALLONI
San Leonardo is simply one of the great wines of Italy and the history of the estate and the Guerrieri Gonzaga family is incredible. Located midway between Verona and Trento, with the Dolomites serving as an imposing backdrop, this lovingly-tended 300 hectares include manicured lawns, parkland, a stunning villa, museum, the original Roman road to Austria and a cellar to rival any Bordeaux chateau. The comparisons with Bordeaux do not end there, for the wine could easily pass as cru classé left bank, but this is no insurance company-owned chateau. Tenuta San Leonardo has soul, and you can feel it: in the place, the wine and the people. TREMBATH & TAYLOR
