The Wine
Terre, a Bordeaux blend like San Leonardo and from the same terroir, follows in the footsteps of its “elder brother,” as the winery describes it, here with remarkable crispness and enviable balance.

A blend of 50% Cabernet, 40% Merlot and 10% Carmenere and aged in 80% concrete vats and 20% in French oak, it is wine that is easy to love. An introduction into the house style of the cult Northern Italian producer San Leonardo, the introduction is full of surprise and pleasure perfectly designed to keep you there once you enter!!
Although an introduction into the world of San Leonardo this is no entry wine. Ages for 18 months in the barrels upon release, this is an incredibly seirous effort. 2016 was rated 92 by Robert Parker.



Tasting Notes & Reviews
​2018 Vintage:
"The 2018 Terre di San Leonardo offers bright intensity and lots of dark fruit with easy spice, fresh blackberry and subtle mineral tones. A quote on the label reads in Italian "la Terra é l'anima del nostro mestiere" (Soil is the soul of our craft). This entry-level red wine seeks to offer transparency, freshness and an authentic interpretation of a unique Italian territory." 91/100, Monica Larner, Robert Parker Dec'22

2017 Vintage:
Ratings for 2017s are coming in with Luca Maroni, the famed Italian Wine critic rating it 91/100.

2016 Vintage
"The 2016 Terre di San Leonardo Rosso is an excellent introduction to the producer and their style. The wine is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Carmenère from younger vines, yet the same terroir of the flagship San Leonardo. The bigger difference here is in the composition, with Merlot taking a front seat to Carmenère, and in the aging, using a blend of 80% concrete and 20% French oak for a shorter period of time. That said, the Terre di San Leonardo is intended to be the fresher and more immediate wine of the house. Crushed black cherries, wild, peppery herbs, crushed stone and hints of animal musk can be found in the glass. It trades power for tension, displaying a mix of tart woodland red and black berry fruits, complemented by zesty acids and minerals with just a hint of sweet spice. Its structure is present yet doesn’t overwhelm." 91/100, Eric Guido, Nov 2020

"A lightly herbal red with impressions of dried hay, redcurrants and cranberry pie. Light to medium body, fine yet firm tannins and a medium finish. Drink now." 91/100, James Suckling, Nov 2019
