The Prestige of the Montalcino Terroir
The wines of Montalcino owe their global reputation to a specific microclimate and a heritage of patient craftsmanship:
-
100% Sangiovese Grosso: Unlike other regions, Brunello must be produced exclusively from this local clone, resulting in a wine of extraordinary concentration and aromatic complexity.
-
Mastery of Time: Brunello di Montalcino is defined by its long aging requirements, spending years in oak barrels and bottles before release to develop its signature notes of leather, tobacco, and ripe red fruit.
-
The Diversity of Slopes: Each side of the Montalcino hill offers a different character, from the cooler, elegant northern slopes to the warmer, more powerful southern exposures.
-
Rosso di Montalcino DOC: Often called the "Junior Brunello," this wine offers a fresher and more immediate look at the territory, perfect for those who want the Montalcino soul with a shorter aging period.

San Polo
San Polo is situated on the south-eastern slope of Montalcino hill, at an altitude of 450 metres, the 22 hectares of the estate, 16 of which are planted with Sangiovese, are characterized by a dry, breezy microclimate, with wide diurnal and seasonal temperature swings. In the cellar, an admirable example of bio-architecture, designed to minimize energy consumption and environmental impact, the grapes are processed with artisan care to enhance the finesse of the Sangiovese aromas. The essence of San Polo, in fact, is to take the wines back to the vineyard that generated them, so as to express the concept of terroir to the full. Man’s intervention is nothing more than bringing the wine closer to nature, adopting a viticulture that respects the soil, the microclimate and the biodiversity of the place, so that the biological cycle of the vineyard and the pedoclimatic context are in perfect harmony.
