About this Vineyard

Tenuta San Leonardo is one of Italy’s most extraordinary wine estates, with a documented history stretching back to 589 AD and grapes possibly grown here since 900 AD when monks on the site made wine for mass. The Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga family have been custodians for over three centuries, and it was Marchese Carlo who, inspired by working alongside Mario Incisa della Rocchetta of Sassicaia fame, planted Cabernet Sauvignon and enlisted the legendary enologist Giacomo Tachis to create a Bordeaux-style red in the Italian Alps.
