San Polo Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Still organic red wine from Tuscany, Italy, 14% ABV, 100% Sangiovese. Produced by San Polo Azienda Agricola (Allegrini), an ambassador for Allegrini wines worldwide. 0.75L bottle, 2017 vintage. A Brunello di Montalcino that expresses the excellence of the Tuscan terroir, with a production process that respects nature and the environment. Manual harvest in small 17kg crates at the end of September. Soft pressing of the grapes preceded by careful selection of the berries. Fermentation in concrete tanks. Aged for 24 months in 500L medium-toasted French oak tonneaux, some new and some used a second time. It is then aged for at least 6 months in bottle before being released for sale. On the nose, it expresses typical aromas of violets and small red fruits. Hints of undergrowth, aromatic wood, light vanilla, and complex jam are evident, followed by subtle notes of intense, persistent, ample, and ethereal coffee. A deep ruby red with garnet highlights, clear and brilliant. It’s a warm wine on the palate, with a dense, full-bodied texture. The finish is long, with well-defined tannins.
