Grapes: Merlot 90%, Carmenère 10%
Characteristics: Villa Gresti has the carisma of heritage, the authority of a tradition-steeped wine and a teneciously modern, dynamic vitality. Seductively versatile, its elegance reinforced by the power of the Merlot grape, Villa Gresti is the quintessence of Tenuta San Leonardo's distinctively gracious style: a precise, satisfyingly balanced wine that instantly attracts attention. Villa Gresti's velvet-smooth, caressing sensory profile has an assertive finish that is as enjoyable at it is alluring and the structure, resonant with authority, exalts the breadth of the close-knit texture. Enjoy now or in years to come.
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.
