Terre - San Leonardo
Terre, a classic Bordeaux-style blend, follows in the footsteps of its “older brother” San Leonardo, born from the same terroir, and expresses great freshness and balance.
IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti | Red
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenère
history
Terre was first produced with the 2005 vintage. In the early 2000s, new Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards were planted; they produced excellent wines but were too young to be used in the Grand Vin, San Leonardo. Hence the desire to create a true second wine that could express the essence of our terroir but in a fresher, more immediate style.

vinification and aging
Spontaneous fermentation and maceration for 12-15 days in small concrete vats with several daily pump-overs and occasional délestage. After racking, malolactic fermentation takes place in the same vats, where the wine remains in decantation for several months. Aging for 12 months, 50% in concrete and 50% in French oak barriques and tonneaux with medium toast, second and third passage, followed by final blending. The wine is then bottled and remains for at least 6 months in our cellars before being released to the market.
