Rosso - San Leonardo

The Rosso from San Leonardo displays a deep red glowing color that captivates the eyes of wine lovers. On the nose, a complex bouquet unfolds with ripe cherries, black currants, and a fine spiciness. These aromas harmonize perfectly with hints of dark chocolate and light herbal notes, adding an extra dimension to the wine. On the palate, the Rosso is smooth and full-bodied. The elegant acidity contributes to a long, fruity finish, accompanied by a fine tannin structure.

Vinification of the Rosso from San Leonardo

The grapes for the Rosso come from the best locations of the San Leonardo estate. The vines thrive in an optimal terroir characterized by calcareous soils and a mild climate. The grapes are handpicked to select only the best specimens. After harvesting, gentle destemming occurs, followed by a careful fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. To deeply integrate the aromas into the wine, a maceration fermentation is carried out. Subsequently, the Rosso ages for several months in high-quality French barriques, which impart additional complexity and subtle notes of wood.

Food Pairings for the Rosso from San Leonardo

The Rosso pairs excellently with a variety of dishes. Enjoy it with juicy beef dishes or a tender rack of lamb. Pasta with robust sauces, such as a Bolognese or a ragù, also pairs perfectly with this wine. An alternative idea is a cheese board featuring aged Parmesan and tangy Pecorino, which wonderfully complements the fruitiness of the wine. For a festive occasion, we recommend a recipe for risotto with porcini mushrooms, which highlights the full-bodied character of the Rosso exceptionally well.
