There is no refrigeration, no heating, no [commercial] yeasts, we only use indigenous yeasts."He adds: "I am not against technology, it's just that in this area, the climate is so fine that it's easy to make red wines, and we can do them in a proper way to respect the terroir."

More than 1000 years ago, it was a monastery, but for over three centuries now San Leonardo has served as the residence of the Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga family, its proud custodians. Today, the San Leonardo estate is a garden of vineyards and roses, protected by the massive barrier of the Alps, which blunt the force of the cold northern windswhile the valley floor benefits from, and in turn releases, warmth from nearby Lake Garda. The tenuta remains an antique world, in which winemaking practices, still uncompromisingly artisanal, yield wines that are true gems of Italy's wine tradition, marked by freshness, harmony, and an innate elegance.
Tenuta San Leonardo is in Trentino. The Alto Adige is to its north while Valpolicella is to the south. In this podcast Anselmo Guerrieri Gonzaga recounts his family history and how he works with his father Marquis Carlo to produce sensational wines. The Guerrieri Gonzaga family has run the San Leonardo estate for the past 300 years. Across 25 hectares they grow an eclectic mix of classic French grape types such as Carmenere, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. In addition they purchase some Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling both of which make exceptional wines. The classic nature of the red wines produced at the estate is due to the family's ability to blend with precision and its complete belief in a style that is soft, elegant and packed full of age worthy elements. The signature label - San Leonardo - is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Carmenere and 10% Merlot. Spontaneous fermentation in small concrete vats, 24 months in French oak, will age well for 25 years plus. There are a number of additional fascinating features associated with the estate. We chat about all of these and more in this podcast with Anselmo. For instance the Carmenere is all grown on high pergola's; the estate has a history back to 589; there is a chapel with 12th century frescoes on its walls; the extraordinary Villa Gresti estate house built in 1724 was where the armistice prelimineries were drawn up to end WW1 while the German Wermacht used it as a regional HQ in WW2. The estate of San Leonardo converted to being fully organic in 2015. This is a classic story of one of the world's finest wines. The wines of San Leonardo are distributed in Ireland by Classic Drinks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- While all restaurants in Ireland are closed right now they WILL open again. We all hope that this is soon. We should remember that many of these, including the wonderful Monty's of Kathmandu, are family businesses. They are often small and brilliant and when they do reopen they will need our support more than ever. Keep Safe and Keep well.

Più di mille anni fa era un monastero, da oltre tre secoli è la residenza dei Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga che ne sono appassionati custodi. Oggi la Tenuta San Leonardo è un giardino di vigne e rose protetto dalle imponenti montagne trentine che smorzano i freddi venti nordici, mentre il fondovalle accoglie e regala il tepore del lago di Garda. La Tenuta è un mondo antico dove le pazienti pratiche di cantina, ancora assolutamente artigianali, regalano vini che sono autentici gioielli dell’enologia italiana distinguendosi per freschezza, armonia ed un’innata eleganza.
