San Leonardo has been one of Italy's great reds for decades: a Bordeaux blend born in Trentino, on the estate the Guerrieri Gonzaga family has owned since 1724, between Avio and Borghetto all'Adige. The mountains protect the vineyards and allow slow ripening, which gives the wine elegance and longevity. It is only made in vintages judged worthy of it.
This bottle belongs to the first edition of "Arte a San Leonardo", the project that each year entrusts the label to a contemporary artist. For 2018 it was Simone Berti, with a work on the theme "waiting is not wasted time": a tree that turns into a wine glass. Only 999 bottles carry his label.
In the glass: black fruit, bell pepper, spice and graphite, with fine tannins. A collector's wine, inside and out.
