Tenuta Leonardo
Tenuta Leonardo sits in Aglianico del Vulture, the volcanic heart of Basilicata in Southern Italy. The region's mineral-rich soils and elevation create conditions for wines of structure and depth. The winery's Luna Calante Merlot demonstrates the potential of the area's terroir, offering a modern expression of the varietal that has drawn the attention of Wine Spectator. Basilicata remains one of Italy's less heralded regions, yet its volcanic character—shaped by Mount Vulture's ancient geology—gives wines a distinctive profile. Tenuta Leonardo works within this landscape, where temperature swings between day and night concentrate flavor and acidity.
