San Polo is a wine estate in the southeastern part of Montalcino. The first Brunello di Montalcino DOCG wines were made here in 1997, and today San Polo makes a range of wines that also includes some Toscana IGT cuvées and a Rosso di Montalcino.
The estate has 16 hectares (40 acres) of vines that were planted between 1990 and 2000. These vineyards, planted predominantly to Sangiovese, sit at around 1300ft (400m) above sea level, overlooking Monte Amiata and the Valle Sant’Antimo. Around half of the plots are registered as Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. After harvest, the fruit is taken to the modern, subterranean winery for vinification.
San Polo’s portfolio consists of five red wines. The standard and Riserva Brunello wines both spend 24 months in new and second-use French tonneaux, which is followed by an extended period aging in bottle. The Riserva is not released until six years after harvest. The Rosso di Montalcino spends 12 months in one-year old tonneaux.
The estate also makes a pair of Toscana IGT wines: Mezzopane, a Merlot – Sangiovese blend, and Rubio, a Sangiovese with a little Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
San Polo is owned by the Allegrini family of Amarone fame.
