6 BOTTLES X 75cl. 

With the charisma of tradition, this wine has the authority of an historic wine married to a dynamic vitality which is unmistakably modern. Seducingly versatile, it has the strength of Merlot which magnifies the typically graceful style of Tenuta San Leonardo wines.
Well balanced, it immediately plays a leading role, velvety, almost caressing in its organolectic whole with a determined finish, pleasant and involving to the palate. A masterly structure which is dense and variegated, to be enjoyed in time.

VINE TYPE
Villa Gresti is born from a selection of the Estate’s best Merlot grapes. Blend of Merlot 90%, Carmenère 10%.

AGE OF VINES
From 10 to 20 years.

YEILD PER HECTARE
From 50 to 60 quintals/hectare (2.25 to 2.67 tons/acre).

HARVEST PERIOD
The grapes are picked when perfectly ripe towards the end of September.

VINIFICATION
Grapes are hand-selected on a conveyor belt, then destemmed and soft-crushed, with minimal use of sulphur dioxide. The juice ferments and macerates on the skins for a long period of time, during which the cap is punched down daily. The must is cold-clarified by allowing the lees to settle.

MATURATION
After fermentation in cement tanks, the wine begins to mature in small 225-litre barrels, where it will stay for 12 to 14 months..

BOTTLE AGEING
For at least 12 months before released onto the market.

SENSORY ANALYSIS
Intense ruby red, it has a broad, pervasive nose with lingering notes of tobacco and intriguing hints of vanilla and cocoa powder. The palate finds a perfect balance of softness and acidity with the sweet, elegantly assertive and velvet smooth tannins that are the hallmark of this variety.

FOOD MATCHES
An ideal partner for red meat dishes, poultry, roasts, braised or stewed meats, game and mature cheeses.

SERVING TEMPERATURE
16°C.

AGEING POTENTIAL
10 years or more.

ALCOHOL
13% vol.
