Attractive nose of hazelnuts, praline, cherries, peaches and vanilla. Medium-bodied with creamy tannins and a supple, juicy palate. Drink now or hold. (James Suckling)

The Cortonesi 2021 Lèonus opens to a medium-dark appearance and punchy aromas of candied cherry, iris, earth and cola. The fruit feels very fresh and primary and even a touch raw. The wine is lean and simple in terms of mouthfeel, with balanced acidity. It would make a great partner to a cheesy Margherita pizza. Some 20,000 bottles were produced. (Monica Larner)
