Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT Villa Gresti 2020 Tenuta San Leonardo

The Vigneti delle Dolomiti Villa Gresti of Tenuta San Leonardo was born in vineyards located in Vallagarina, in the extreme south of Trentino.

It is mainly produced with Merlot and Carménère grapes, harvested in perfect ripening conditions towards the end of September, then manually sorted, de-stemmed and softly pressed. Subsequently the fermentation and maturation takes place on the skins for a long period, with repeated daily punching down. After fermentation, aging begins in oak barrels which ends after about 12-14 months.

It is characterized by an intense ruby red color. The nose has a broad and enveloping perfume of long persistence, with hints of tobacco and persuasive vanilla and cocoa notes. On the palate it reveals a perfect balance of softness and acidity, with velvety and sweet tannins, characteristic of this type of grape.

Perfect to accompany red meats, noble poultry and roasts, it is also ideal in combination with braised meats, stewed meat, game and mature cheeses.
