San Leonardo is a historic and prestigious wine estate located in Trentino, in northern Italy, near the foothills of the Dolomites. The estate has been in the hands of the Guerrieri Gonzaga family for over three centuries, with winemaking beginning in earnest in the 1970s under Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga. Inspired by Bordeaux, the estate focused on international grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Merlot, blended with Italian elegance and Alpine freshness.
Perfect execution of Bordeaux-style and other masterpieces from San Leonardo.
San Leonardo’s flagship wine, also called San Leonardo, is a Bordeaux-style blend that has gained international acclaim for its refinement, structure, and aging potential. Often referred to as the Sassicaia of the North, it is considered one of Italy’s greatest red wines. The vineyards are planted on gravelly, well-drained soils that help develop complexity and concentration in the grapes.
The estate practices organic viticulture and emphasizes minimal intervention to let the terroir shine through. The winery also produces other notable labels such as Villa Gresti and Terre di San Leonardo, each showcasing a unique expression of the estate’s character. Aging takes place in French oak barrels, where the wines develop depth and harmony over time.
San Leonardo wines are known for their balance between power and elegance, with notes of dark berries, tobacco, herbs, and spice. The estate has remained intentionally small and family-run, prioritizing quality over quantity. With cool mountain breezes and a long growing season, the microclimate contributes to the wines’ freshness and aromatic complexity.
Today, San Leonardo is managed by Carlo’s son, Anselmo Guerrieri Gonzaga, who continues the legacy with the same passion and dedication. The estate has received praise from top wine critics and collectors around the world. San Leonardo represents a beautiful intersection of tradition, terroir, and noble winemaking in Italy’s Trentino region.
