Tenuta San Leonardo Terre di San Leonardo 2018
A classic Bordeaux blend, as a result of a careful blending of the Company´s grapes. This wine "Terre", which means "lands" in Italian, follows the footsteps of the "San Leonardo" wine. They both originate from the same terroir giving a great intensity and refined elegance.

Colour

Bright ruby ​​red.

Bouquet

Ample with a discrete persistence. Vinous when young, it then gives scents of ripe plum with a slight herbaceous background when ageing.

Flavour

The taste is dry, soft, and balanced with a pleasantly bitter end. Good aromatic persistence that expresses great elegance.

Pairing

Perfect with all meals. It pairs well with pasta dishes with sauces, stuffed pasta, grilled meats, white meats, and soft cheeses.
