#72 on The Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2023!
90 points Wine Spectator
This lithe, elegant red is signaled by a burst of raspberry aromas and flavors. Shows iron and earth details as this firms up, before stretching out on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2027.
Poggio San Polo is situated on the southeast side of the hill of Montalcino, at 450 meters (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 is to trace the wines back to the vineyard where the grapes grew to express the concept of terroir fully. Human intervention aims to bring 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 the climate are in perfect harmony.
