Description

Indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors that the San Polo Governo Toscana IGT 2017 has to offer. This exceptional red wine hails from the prestigious Tuscany region in Italy, celebrated worldwide for its unparalleled winemaking heritage. Crafted with the Governo method, an ancient technique that involves adding partially dried grapes to the newly fermented wine, it results in a complex and intensely flavored wine.

The wine showcases the characteristic profile of the Sangiovese grape, complemented by other local grape varieties. On the nose, you'll discover an exquisite blend of ripe cherry and plum, accompanied by hints of spice that add depth and intrigue. The palate is greeted with a symphony of fruit flavors, balanced by subtle earthy undertones and a smooth, lingering finish. The wine is dry, ensuring it is not too sweet and making it a great pairing option with many foods.

San Polo is committed to environmental responsibility, which has obtained the official Biodiversity Friend certification. Biodiversity Friend certifies wineries that implement production practices aimed at increasing biodiversity in the vineyards.
