137 Tenuta San Leonardo
Tenuta San Leonardo: Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga noble family welcomes you in this ORGANIC winery between Alpes & Garda Lake.
A unique location: a small village 1500 years old which includes a church, monastery, cellars, museum and villa, all in a micro-valley nestled between the Alps and Lake Garda.
Here you’ll be received by a family of warriors (“Guerrieri”) turned winemakers, you’ll visit the chapel of the year 1000 and hear the story of these vineyards and wines that today are listed the Top 100 of Wine Spectator magazine.
The wine pairing lunch, designed to enhance our 6 top wines, ranges from the South Tyrolean tradition to the trendy dishes of the Marchesa Violante, who serves them in her palace in Rome to VIPs from all over the world.
Take a seat in this little-known jewel, enjoy old vintages taken from the family cellar and let yourself be treated like ancient (and contemporary…) Kings and Queens (HRH Queen Máxima of the Netherlands & HRH Princess Bolkiah of Brunei were guests of Violante Guerrieri Gonzaga in Rome).

Tenuta San Leonardo Vallagarina 1997
Black ruby in color, intense aromas of blackberries, licorice, red berries and green tobacco, this is a full-bodied red with loads of silky tannins and a long, long aftertaste of tobacco, sage and berry.
A huge core of fruit in this wine. Needs time.
An Italian interpretation of great Bordeaux from bygone days.
Best after 2006. 7,450 cases made.
