San Leonardo, Tenuta San Leonardo 2020

San Leonardo 2020 is an exceptional, cool-climate northern Italian red blend produced by Tenuta San Leonardo in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Made from a classic blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Carménère, and 10% Merlot, this vintage was recently named the "Red Wine of the Year 2026" by the prestigious DoctorWine guide. It stands out for its elegant, lower-alcohol profile (around 13% ABV), delivering refined aromas of wild berries, balsamic herbs, and dark chocolate backed by silky, seamless tannins.Aaged for 24 months in French oak and another 24 months in the bottle, the 2020 vintage is built for incredible longevity. Highly rated by international critics, including a 95+ point score from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, it is widely considered one of the finest Bordeaux-style blends in Italy. While it is approachable now, experts recommend a peak drinking window between 2026 and 2048, making it a prime candidate for collectors looking to cellar a landmark Italian wine.
