San Polo

In an effort to employ environmentally sound and sustainable agriculture, natural compost and nitrogen- rich plants have replaced the chemical treatments in the San Polo vineyards. Picturesque olive groves and a magnificent farmhouse enrich the property with genuine Tuscan charm, while the modern, underground winery and cellar provide the best environment and technology for state-of-the-art winemaking. “Rubio” Toscana IGT Rubio is a youthful and fresh red made entirely from Sangiovese Grosso grown on hillside vineyards of Montalcino. Fermentation in stainless steel follows a brief, but intense, period of maceration. The final bottling retains all of the fresh fruit character while delivering excellent color and flavor extraction.

Rosso di Montalcino DOC At San Polo, the grapes for this Rosso di Montalcino are obtained from the same noble parcels as those used for the Brunello, but the requirements for aging and maximum yields are less stringent. Therefore, Rosso di Montalcino wine is more accessible in its youth, whereas Brunello di Montalcino benefits from more aging. More like a “Baby Brunello,” the final wine is flavorful and versatile, with all the quality one expects from this distinguished appellation.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG San Polo Brunello, made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso, is produced from estate vines in the Montalcino appellation. Blessed with vines that enjoy a southeastern exposure in a naturally occurring amphitheatre, San Polo is able to employ organic and biodynamic methods of viticulture that keep these wines pure. This is a wine that truly reflects its pedigree and meticulous treatment in both the vineyard and cellar.

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG Made from 100% Sangiovese, manually harvested in October. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and macerated by frequent pumpovers and punch downs. Aging is done in French barriques for a period of two years before an additional year in the bottle for further refinement.
