Description
SAN POLO MONTALCINO
Situated on the southeast side of the hill of Montalcino, at 450 metres (1476 ft) above sea level, the estate’s 22 hectares (54 acres), 16 (40) of which are dedicated to vines, are characterized by a breezy and dry microclimate with strong seasonal and day-night temperature variations. The cellar, a fine example of ecologically sustainable architecture, was designed to minimize energy consumption and environmental impact. Here, the grapes are processed with craftsman-like care to enhance the finesse of the aromas of Sangiovese. The essence of San Polo, in fact, is to trace the wines back to the vineyard where the grapes grew, in order to fully express the concept of terroir. Human intervention is aimed at bringing wine closer to nature, adopting a viticulture that respects the soil, the microclimate, and the biodiversity of the area, so that the biological cycle of the vineyard, the soil, and climate are in perfect harmony. These concepts are expressed in an exemplary way by our two crus Podernovi and Vignavecchia: two vineyards close in proximity but very different in terms of exposure, slope, and soil characteristics.
WINEMAKER NOTES:
Sangiovese, Montalcino’s most important grape variety, is fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks, giving life to a wine with great freshness and versatility. Deep ruby red in colour, Rubio is modern and elegant and conveys the lively fragrances and colours of an untouched natural environment.
TASTING NOTES:
Rubio has a brilliant ruby red colour with purple hues. Intensely fruity aromas, with notes of cherry, violet, and black currant, followed by spicy notes. Well structured and balanced, with pleasant tannins and great aromatic persistence. The sensations of berries and cherries, typical of the variety, give it great drinkability, in addition to considerable intensity and elegance.
