Montalcino's unique climate and soil provide ideal conditions for Sangiovese grapes to develop. The wine is cultivated with great respect for the environment and nature. This balance between respect for nature and innovative techniques makes San Polo Brunello di Montalcino one of the most coveted wines in the world.
Around September, the Sangiovese grapes are carefully harvested by hand. The grapes are then transported directly to the winery in small crates. The grapes are then fermented in concrete tanks. After this, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. San Polo Brunello di Montalcino is then aged for 30 months in oak barrels of various sizes, including 1000-liter, 2000-liter, and 4000-liter barrels. This extended period of oak aging contributes to the wine's complexity and development. After the long period of cellar aging, the wine is bottled for at least another six months before release.
San Polo Brunello di Montalcino presents itself in the glass with a deep ruby red color, with subtle garnet hues. The nose offers classic aromas of violets and juicy red berries. This beautiful aroma is complemented by hints of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of coffee. From the first sip, the warmth of this wine emerges, enveloped in a rich and full texture that caresses the palate. The finish is remarkably long and characterized by well-defined tannins, underscoring the wine's structure and elegance.
