Tenuta San Leonardo, San Leonardo 2017
"…one of the great wines of Italy… Sassicaia and San Leonardo seem like brothers separated in childhood." Wine Advocate, December 2014 "Surely the most successful Bordeaux blend of Northern Italy" Jancis Robinson, August 2012 The wines are more akin to Bordeaux than Bolgheri with their balance and purity and (says leading Italian critic Nicolas Belfrage) ‘can have an elegance-cum-depth capable of taking on the best clarets of the world‘. San Leonardo’s owner Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga, a rare example (at the time) of a professionally-trained aristocrat-oenologist, spent time at Tenuta San Guido back in the 1960s and subsequently employed the same legendary consultant, Giacomo Tachis, as Sassicaia for a time. San Leonardo’s outstanding Bordeaux blend has received ‘Tre Bicchiere’ from Gambero Rosso for an extraordinary fourteen vintages consecutively and was also numbered among the Guide’s ‘Fifty Wines which changed Italy’. Latterly the critics have got on board with great write-ups from Jancis Robinson, The Wall Street Journal (to whom we introduced the estate) and the Wine Advocate giving recent vintages of San Leonardo 94-97 point scores. "One of my personal favourite Italian wines, unquestionably the top winery in the region and renowned as one of the most consistent – stylistically and qualitatively – in the whole of Italy, YET its wines remain extremely well-priced by comparison to more widely publicised names." Tom Harrow, Honest Grapes Wine Director
Tenuta Sette Ponti, Podere Orma Toscana 2020
Is it in Bolgheri that Antonio Moretti Cuseri has left his new footprint, or Orma in Italian? This is no simple word-play, but rather heralds a wine estate which he acquired in Bolgheri, in the province of Livorno, after searching for a wine-growing area of absolute quality. Bolgheri has long boasted an impressive reputation in the world of great wines, earning its prestige as one of the most impressive and creative production areas in the entire world of wines as a result of a number of forward-thinking producers and of the area’s experimentation with innovative blends of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. An unusual alchemy fuses together climate, soils, culture, and tradition to make Bolgheri an exceptional terroir for the production of powerful yet refined wines of unsurpassed quality.
