The development of the San Leonardo winery goes hand-in-hand with the Guerrieri Gonzaga family, winemakers in San Leonardo since the 18th century, who are part of the fascinating centuries-old history of the estate. The long family tradition echoes in every corner of the company. A first reorganization of the estate took place between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century thanks to the father of the Marquis Carlo, who was passionate about enology. But Carlo is the first true winemaker of the family, passionate about great wines for fifty years, he has dedicated almost all of his attention and his time to San Leonardo.
The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenère grapes for the ruby red Terre di San Leonardo wine were carefully harvested and sorted manually. The grapes underwent spontaneous fermentation for 15-18 days in small concrete vats with periodic pumpovers. The wine matured for some months in concrete vats and in French oak barrels.
