Villa Gresti is named in honour of Marchesi’s ancestor Gemma di Gresti, who helped repatriate thousands of Italian prisoners of war from Russia after World War I.
An impressive wine for an impressive lady, Villa Gresti is fast closing the gap on San Leonardo and based as it is on a different blend (90% Merlot) from separate vineyards, it's not a second wine but an alternative expression of the estate’s unique terroir. This leaves many big-name and bigger-price Pomerols in the shade.

What the critics say:
"The 2019 Rosso Villa Gresti di San Leonardo is youthfully understated in the glass, with sage, rosemary and crushed wild blueberry aromas. This is silky and potent, with masses of dark red fruits and savory herbs cascading across its stern mineral core. It finishes dramatically long and savory with peppery inner florals and salted licorice hints that linger. The 2019 is a powerful and balanced Villa Gresti that will take some time to show its best."
