Description
A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère, the Tenuta San Leonardo 2021 Terre di San Leonardo offers a little more volume than the 2022 vintage of this same wine. The 2021 growing season was slightly cooler, and as a result, you get dark fruit flavors with blackberry and plum. Both vintages have a mid-weight finish, but you get more length here.
