VINE TYPE

Intense ruby red with garnet highlights. A wine of remarkable intensity on the nose, which layers bell peppers and wild berries over a background note of vanilla. The palate San Leonardo is a skilful blend of wines from three grapes that are fermented and aged separately: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot. Before it goes into bottle, the precise proportions of the blend are decided only after rigorous tasting of samples, barrique by barrique.

VINE TRAINING SYSTEMS

Guyot and spurred cordon at a density of 5.000 to 6.600 plants per hectare.

AGE OF VINES

From 10 to 30 years

YIELD PER HECTARE

50-60 quintals/hectare (2.25-2.67 tons/acre).

HARVEST PERIOD

The grapes are picked when perfectly ripe during the months of September and October.

WINEMAKING PROCEDURE

Grapes are hand-selected on a conveyor belt, then destemmed and soft-crushed, with minimal use of sulphur dioxide. The juice ferments and macerates slowly on the skins, during which time the cap is punched down daily. The must is cold-clarified by allowing the lees to settle.

MATURATION

The early months of maturation in large tanks are followed by 24 months in new, once and twice-used French barriques.

BOTTLE AGEING

For about one year before release onto the market.
