 A refined blend of Merlot and Carmènere, Villa Gresti is a wine with a wonderful texture and velvety tannins.

Villa Gresti Tenuta San Leonardo owes its name to a Liberty-style villa surrounded by vineyards, built by the Marchioness Gemma de Gresti, the ancient owner of the estate.

TASTING NOTES:

Intense ruby ​​red, the nose expresses ample and enveloping aromas with hints of tobacco and persuasive notes of vanilla and cocoa. On the palate it reveals a perfect balance between softness and acidity, with velvety and sweet tannins, of inflexible elegance and decisive persistence.

THE WINE:

Villa Gresti combines the charisma and strength of Merlot with the power of Carmenère: a refined blend that encapsulates the history of the Estate's oldest vineyards. Vinified in cement tanks, it matures in new barriques for just over a year before further long refinement in the bottle. A velvety, caressing, decisive and elegant red like few others of its kind, whose structure is masterful and which makes it particularly suitable for long aging. ELEGANCE IS GUARANTEED.


THE GRAPES:

International vines are grown within the estate; Carmenère , planted in the mid-1800s, is the true essence of San Leonardo wines, grown both pergola and Guyot, it gives character and identity to San Leonardo. Merlot planted in the early 1900s and grown both as spurred cordon and pergola, it offers roundness and softness. While the Cabernet Sauvignon , planted by Marchese Carlo in 1978 and grown exclusively with spurred cordon, gives structure and elegance. The planting density varies according to the type of cultivation: 6,200 vines per hectare for the guyot and spurred cordon and 1,800 for the double trentina pergola.
