This Riesling is made by Tenuta San Leonardo from the grapes of the homonymous international variety grown at about 700 meters above sea level, within that area identifiable as the Val di Cembra. The terroir where the vines take root is characterized by a predominantly sandy matrix. The bunches, after manual harvesting, are taken to the winery's facilities designated for winemaking to be destemmed; after which the grapes are pressed and the obtained must ferments in stainless steel containers for about twenty days. The process then continues with aging, during which the wine remains first for 12 months on the fine lees in French oak tonneaux and then, after bottling, for another 6 months directly in glass.

The white Riesling wine branded Tenuta San Leonardo presents itself with a color reminiscent of straw yellow, light and not too concentrated to the eye. The olfactory spectrum starts with citrus and mineral notes and then shifts towards sensations of tropical fruit and hints that recall flint. On the palate, it has excellent structure, with a dynamic sip, characterized by a fresh and savory imprint, which ends with a finish of excellent persistence. An excellent label that reveals its alpine charm, perfect to gift to friends passionate about wines from northern Italy.
