Tenuta San Leonardo "Carmenère" vigneti delle dolomiti IGT 2020

For many years, the estate's old vineyards dedicated to this grape were exchanged and vinified as Cabernet Franc. It was only thanks to the insights of the Guerrieri Gonzaga family and the analyses of Professor Attilio Scienza that the true identity of the plants was discovered: they were actually Carmenère, an ancient Bordeaux grape that had almost disappeared in its homeland after the phylloxera epidemic. Initially used as a fundamental and "secret" ingredient in the famous blending of the company's flagship wine (the San Leonardo), it is now also expressed in its pure form, enhancing the oldest vineyards of the property.
