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. San Polo is located in one of the most beautiful and well-known area of ​​the Montalcino denomination, the heart of Brunello production. The winery is located north of the municipality, on a hill overlooking Montalcino from which it is possible to admire the entire valley. The San Polo vineyards, which extend for 16 hectares, are planted in soils rich in marl and clay, ideally suited for the cultivation of Sangiovese. The company is located in a strategic position, as it enjoys a privileged microclimate and is constantly ventilated. All this allows us to produce grapes of excellent quality, which express all the potential of the territory. Therefore, this wine not only provides an exceptional sensory experience but also reflects a commitment to sustainability.

Enjoy this Toscana IGT at a serving temperature of 16-18°C to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. It pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from hearty pasta dishes and grilled meats to aged cheeses. Consider serving it alongside traditional Tuscan fare like bistecca alla fiorentina or pappa al pomodoro. Its versatile character also makes it an excellent choice for casual gatherings, adding a touch of Italian elegance to any occasion. Overall, San Polo Governo Toscana IGT 2017 is more than just a wine; it’s a journey through the heart of Tuscany, delivering an unforgettable experience with every sip.
