Beschreibung: Der San Leonardo San Leonardo Vignette delle Domoiti IGT ist das Flaggschiff der Kellerei. Der San Leonardo San Leonardo Vignette delle Domoiti IGT nimmt es locker mit den großen Weinen aus dem Bordeaux auf. Er präsentiert sich mit einem intensiven Bouquet von roten Beeren, Vanillearomen und pfeffrigen Noten. Am Gaumen ist der San Leonardo San Leonardo Vignette delle Domoiti IGT weich und warm mit Seiden Tannieren und einer großartigen Struktur. Lang im Abgang.

Wine Advocate: „The Tenuta San Leonardo 2017 San Leonardo (in a heavy glass bottle) shows subtle but unmistakable generosity and exuberance that is absolutely in line with this hot vintage. In this regard, the 2017 stands apart from past vintages from this estate that is celebrated for its elegant, undertone and long-term approach. This wine is slightly more accessible too, with plush, dark fruit, balanced oak spice and perfumed rose over a polished, silky mouthfeel.“

James Suckling: „You could easily mistake the stunningly deep and subtle nose of this Sub-Alpine red for a high-end Medoc wine from the same vintage (which was on the restrained side). A super-elegant, mid-weight cabernet sauvignon-dominated blend with plenty of fine tannin married to blackcurrant and forest-berry fruit, plus touches of licorice, savory notes and bitter chocolate at the very long finish. Drink or hold.“

Falstaff Magazin: „Leuchtendes, sattes Rubinrot. In der Nase blumige Aromen, nach Lavendel, Geranien, dann nach frischer Cassis, sowie Holunder, dazu etwas Lakritze, im Hintergrund feine Würze, nach Minze und Salbei. Öffnet sich strahlend und mit saftigem Kern am Gaumen, klare Frucht begleitet den Verlauf, dazu edle Würze, noch jugendlich, aktuell mit fast kaum wahrnehmbarer Weitmaschigkeit im Abgang.“

Jancis Robinson: „Deep crimson. Fresh hint of pyrazines on the nose but nothing excessive or untoward. Lots of velvety texture under a spicy – but bone dry – initial impression. Very pure and alpine indeed. Though restrained. The opposite of sweet and alcoholic. But not for those raised on Napa Cab, but neat, contained, youthful, promising and very finely detailed, as they say. For drinking with a non-showy meal.“

Vinous: „The 2017 San Leonardo is dark, inward and intense with masses of crushed black currants, mint, sage, and balsamic spice. This pulls you close, as further depths of clove and tobacco form in the glass. It coasts along the palate with dense and polished textural fruits, mineral to the core, yet also elevated by brisk acids, while slowly drenching the senses in concentration. This leaves a web of fine tannins and a salty flourish, while tapering off with remarkable length. It's poised with savory herbs that linger long. In 2017, production was down by over 50% due to multiple hail events and a cask that was damaged during maturation.“

Decanter: „The 2017 vintage of San Leonardo is one of the smallest productions in recent memory: not only did it hail twice in August, drastically reducing the crop, but one of the vats cracked and the winery lost the equivalent of around 15,000 bottles of wine. Despite the challenges, it's a typically elegant red, full of scents of balsam, spicy black and red berries, tobacco and earth. A tangy attack of sweet fleshy red fruits is followed by some spicy, earthy currants on the mid-palate and fine-grained, grippy tannins. Intense, super-fresh, fragrant and complex, the long finish shows flecks of tobacco and balsamic lift.“
