The wine

Intense ruby red with garnet highlights. The aroma is pronounced, persistent, broad and ethereal.

Riserva requires six years of ageing before release rather than the five demanded of Brunello, which is why a 2015 sits beside much younger siblings. Montalcino sits south of Siena, hotter and drier than Chianti Classico, and its Sangiovese clone Brunello ripens fuller and darker than anywhere else in Tuscany. Brunello requires five years ageing before release, two of them in wood, and Riserva six.

The producer

San Polo

View all San Polo wines

San Polo is a modern, sustainability-focused estate in Montalcino, beautifully sited on a ridge to the south-east of the town. Part of the Allegrini family portfolio, it has quickly become one of the most admired producers of Brunello.

Farmed organically with a deep commitment to biodiversity and low environmental impact, the vineyards yield pure, expressive Sangiovese. Precise, gentle winemaking captures the elegance and freshness of the site.

The range ascends from the bright Rubio and Rosso di Montalcino to the polished Brunello, the profound Riserva and the rare single-vineyard bottlings of Podernovi and Vignavecchia.

Elegant, refined and impeccably farmed, San Polo crafts some of the most compelling and forward-looking Brunello in Montalcino.
