Vette di San Leonardo

Bright, shiny straw yellow with silver nuances. Pronounced and fragrant on the nose of freshly mown grass and nettles, followed by yellow apple and peach. More fruity on the palate, with racy acidity through to the juicy finish.

San Leonardo, an under-the-radar producer of spectacular Bordeaux-blend reds, also makes this fine, racy Sauvignon Blanc. The slightly grassy and piquant nature characteristic of Sauvignon Blanc is apparent, but more as a condiment rather than the main course, imparting a stylish quality to the wine. Clean and crisp, a prolonged citrus finish just adds to its appeal. It’s an excellent choice for summertime seafood. 90 Michael Apstein
