More than a thousand years ago, this property was a working monastery, but since 1724 it has been home first to the Gresti family and then to the family of the Marquis Guerrieri Gonzaga, who married into the Gresti family and took over running the estate in 1894. It is run today by the present owner, Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga, and his son Anselmo. The estate, located northeast of Lake Garda in the Alpine foothills of Trentino, has always shown a distinct French influence, and is planted almost entirely to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carmenere, and Merlot. The San Leonardo, which is not made in poor vintages, is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Merlot. This is a seamless and polished wine that shows off the estate to perfection: quite smoky on the nose, with brooding black fruit, it is rich, juicy and concentrated with good acidity and firm but integrated tannins.
