Rosso di Montalcino San Polo 2024

The Red wine from Montalcino by the San Polo winery is characterized by a well-balanced union between good structure and a particular freshness, from which a lively drinkability emerges. It is a bottle that year after year continues to achieve good scores in the main industry guides, not only Italian ones. This testifies to the great consistency of the work done by San Polo, a winery owned by the Allegrini family, a prominent name in national viticulture, which has now expanded from Veneto to other Italian regions. A label that enhances the territory by focusing on uncompromising quality.

The Rosso di Montalcino is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in parcels located about 450 meters above sea level. Here, the terroir, facing south and southeast, is characterized by the presence of a clay component in the subsoil. The bunches, immediately after manual harvesting, are destemmed, and the resulting grapes are subjected to a gentle pressing. The must then ferments in cement tanks for 14-16 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in large oak barrels. The aging process then proceeds, in which the wine remains for 12 months in lightly toasted oak barrels with a capacity of 20 and 40 hectoliters.

This San Polo Rosso di Montalcino appears to the eye with a bright and luminous hue, reminiscent of ruby. The range of notes offered to the nose is interesting, structured with fruity and floral touches enhanced by more intense hints of tobacco and sweet spices, released by the wood during the wine's aging period. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with a fruity soul and a sip with a harmonious and velvety profile. A label that prefers to be tasted when “young,” but at the same time has a good predisposition for aging, and can therefore be opened in 3-4 years, proving to be an ally for future tastings!
