Tenuta San Leonardo is a name that stands for red wine. For generations, the Guerrieri Gonzaga family in Avio, in southern Trentino, has been cultivating a Bordeaux blend that is considered by connoisseurs to be among the best wines in Italy. The fact that the house also makes white wine (and rosato) – and with the same precision – far fewer people know. Vette di San Leonardo owes its name to the peaks that surround the vineyards. Vette – summits, peaks – is the image San Leonardo has chosen for this Sauvignon Blanc: high, clear, unmistakable. The grapes come from Roveré della Luna, a village on the border between Trentino and Alto Adige, which is one of the best Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in northern Italy. The Dolomites as a backdrop, cool nights, a long ripening process on the vine. Hand-picked in September. Only steel, no wood. Five months sur lie on the fine lees – for texture and depth without external ageing.

Pale straw yellow with silver reflections. The nose is intense and characterised by alpine freshness: freshly mown grass, gooseberry, elderflower, sage, white peach, a hint of mint and the cool minerality of the mountain terroir. Elegant and precise on the palate – a lively, racy acidity carries the wine with tension, the fruit is clear and clean, the finish is long and salty-mineral with a discreet herbal note. A white wine that knows and shows where it comes from. SUPERIORE.DE
