Tenuta San Leonardo Riesling 2023

Tenuta San Leonardo Riesling 2023 is a dry, organically produced white wine that captures the fresh, mineral character of Trentino’s alpine vineyards. Made from Riesling grown at altitude in Val di Cembra, it combines lively acidity and a distinctive savoury edge with the craftsmanship of the historic San Leonardo estate, founded in 1724.

Tasting Notes
The appearance is not specified in the available information. On the nose, expect yellow-fruit aromas alongside floral notes and aromatic herbs, underpinned by a pronounced mineral character. The palate is full and structured, with spice and a saline quality balanced by elegant, refreshing acidity.

Production
The Riesling comes from vineyards around 700 metres above sea level in Val di Cembra, where sandy soils, a sheltered valley setting and the influence of Lake Garda contribute to the grapes’ freshness and mineral expression. The available information does not specify harvesting methods. Winemaking begins with cold maceration and gentle pressing; fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve aromatic purity. The wine then matures for 12 months on its lees in French oak barrels used once or twice, followed by bottle ageing.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 10–12°C with fish and seafood, mussels or blue cheeses; its acidity and saline, savoury character can complement both delicate seafood and richer, more assertive flavours. Decanting is generally unnecessary, though a short time in the glass can help the aromas open up.

Producer
Tenuta San Leonardo was established in Avio in 1724 and is now run by Marquis Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga and his son Anselmo. The estate is a longstanding name in Trentino, known for its commitment to careful, artisanal winemaking and organic cultivation. This Riesling reflects the winery’s work with alpine vineyards, including the high-altitude sites of Val di Cembra.
