San Polo Brunello di Montalcino 2019
£59.95
The wine
Intense ruby red with garnet hues. Typical violets and small red berries followed by vanilla and spice.
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. San Polo lies on the south-eastern side of the Montalcino hill at Podernovi, farmed organically and among the first Italian wineries built to a certified carbon-neutral standard.
The producer
San Polo
View all San Polo winesSan 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.
