Villa Gresti is named after Gemma di Gresti, a remarkable ancestor of the family who played a key role in repatriating thousands of Italian prisoners of war from Russia after World War I.
Much like its namesake, this wine is both impressive and full of character. Made from 90% Merlot, it offers a unique take on the estate’s terroir—not a second wine, but a distinct expression. With its rich, velvety texture and deep, layered flavours, Villa Gresti can easily rival some of the top Pomerols, often at a fraction of the price.

What the critics say:
"The 2020 Villa Gresti di San Leonardo enchants with a beguiling bouquet that blends pine shavings with incense, white pepper and wild blueberries. It's a model of purity, with silken textures and medium-bodied weight as a wave of ripe red and blue fruits swirl across a stream of cooling acidity. This finishes with outstanding length yet fresh and lively. A sour citrus hint and gently grippy tannins add lovely punctuation. The 2020 is a profoundly elegant yet spicy vintage of Ville Gresti. I love it."
"Stemmy herb, tea leaf, white pepper and dried lychee character on the nose. A touch of charcoal as well. Juicy and round on the palate, with silky tannins and an herbal, peppery finish. An effortlessly drinkable red with excellent acidity. Drink now."
