San Polo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2018

A Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from San Polo, made only from Sangiovese grown in the estate's eight-hectare vineyard, where the soil is rich in calcium and clay. The grapes are harvested by hand and only the best bunches are chosen. After vinification the wine spends 36 months in tonneaux and small French oak barrels, then rests further in bottle before release. The nose shows violet, dried rose, cherry jam and red fruit, with touches of spice over coffee and tobacco. The palate is warm, intense and full-bodied, leading to a long, persistent finish.
