WINES OF CENTRAL ITALY
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.
