Gemma 2024 Tenuta San Leonardo

Gemma 2024 – Tenuta San Leonardo

A rosé that honours a brave woman

Gemma 2024 is a Trentino Lagrein Rosato that pays tribute to Gemma de Gresti, the courageous early 20th-century owner of Tenuta San Leonardo who saved countless lives during the Great War. This wine keeps her memory alive with a delicate, fragrant sip that reflects history and terroir.

Vineyard philosophy: authenticity and respect

The Lagrein grapes for Gemma come from sustainably farmed vineyards where biodiversity and soil vitality are preserved through minimal, careful intervention. The harvest is done strictly by hand to select only the healthiest bunches, ensuring an intact and aromatic fruit.

Winemaking approach: varietal purity

In the cellar, stainless steel fermentation at controlled temperatures preserves the varietal freshness of Lagrein. A short maceration imparts its distinctive cherry-pink hue and releases an aromatic bouquet rich in fruity and floral notes. Maturation in steel enhances its freshness, delicacy, and mineral frame.

Bright cherry-pink colour.
Aromas of raspberry, cherry, wild strawberry and delicate floral hints.
On the palate it’s fresh, light, with a pleasant mineral vein that makes it agile and easy to drink.

Tenuta San Leonardo

A living legacy between Trentino and Austro-Hungarian memory

Nestled in the peaceful Vallagarina, Tenuta San Leonardo is not just a place, but a precise idea of wine as a witness of time and landscape. Here, among dry-stone walls and cypresses, one breathes an air of ancient discipline combined with modern agricultural sensitivity. The land is always in command. The Guerrieri Gonzaga family leads this estate with a light hand and a visionary spirit, preserving a balance between historical memory and contemporary tension.

Vineyard philosophy: the power of biodiversity

In managing the vineyards, San Leonardo has chosen a clear path: certified organic farming, obsessive care for the soil, and utmost respect for natural cycles. The vines, spread across small plots, are cultivated to promote biodiversity, avoid any forcing, and guide each variety — Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Merlot — toward its most authentic expression.

The decision not to irrigate, not to push productivity, and to value the soil’s microfauna is a statement of intent: wine is born from a healthy, living vineyard designed to last for generations.

Cellar approach: precision, elegance, memory

The work in the cellar mirrors the same philosophy as in the vineyard, with an added touch of sartorial precision. Nothing is left to chance, but nothing is forced. Fermentations take place in raw concrete vats, often with submerged cap, ensuring delicate extraction and aromatic precision. The long aging in French oak barrels is not meant to mask, but to sculpt.

The result is a wine with long breath and a subtle soul, where elegance is the sum of patient choices. San Leonardo, the flagship label, is not just a Bordeaux blend: it is a story that changes every year, uniting power and grace with a naturalness that cannot be imitated.
