Brunello from San Polo has a lengthy ageing potential and can further improve with extended bottle ageing. This is due both to the characteristics of the soils on which the grapes are grown—the calcareous content provides ideal conditions for Sangiovese—and the position of the vineyards on the beautiful hills at San Polo.
The bouquet exhibits typical aromas of violets and small red berries. Subtle nuances of forest undergrowth, aromatic wood, a touch of vanilla, and jammy mixed fruit then give way to delicate hints of coffee.
In the glass, the wine shows an intense ruby red colour with garnet hues, clear and glossy in appearance. On the palate, this Brunello is intense, persistent, broad, and heady. It is full-bodied and warm, with a densely woven texture and a robust structure. The finish is long and persistent, supported by well-rounded tannins.
The elegance and harmonious personality of this wine enable it to pair extremely well with highly structured cuisine such as red meats and game, as well as mushrooms and truffles. It is also ideal with matured cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano and Tuscan pecorino.
Serve at 18–20 °C. With proper cellaring, it offers a longevity of 15 to 25 years. Decant for at least 1 hour before serving.

Wines of Tuscany
Tuscany, or Toscana in Italian, is one of the most iconic Italian regions for wine, scenery, and history. Located in central Italy along the west coast, its production of Sangiovese wines is world renowned. Some of Italy’s most famous subregions for Sangiovese such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano can be found here.
Tuscany makes both simple and top tier, age worthy Sangiovese wines. At entry-level you have a wine that is pizza and pasta friendly with bright and juicy red fruit. On the other hand, the highest quality representations of Sangiovese are remarkably complex with flavours ranging from sour cherry, balsamic, dried herbs and leather to fresh earth, dried flowers, anise and tobacco.
In evidence of the quality produced, Tuscany produces the third highest volume of DOC and DOCG quality wines in Italy, only trailing Piedmont, and Veneto. DOC and DOCG wines are the highest designation for Italian wines, while you will often see the IGT classification used to represent wines from Toscana that do not reach the standards for DOC/G.
There is another unofficial class of Tuscan wines called Super Tuscans which also command high prices. These wines are often made from international wine varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, with or without Sangiovese.
