Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2007
Wine Description
At San Polo, the Rosso is obtained from the same parcels as the noble grapes that go into the
Brunello, however the yields are less stringent for Rosso and the aging time less. The youngest and
freshest wine is selected for Rosso di Montalcino leaving the wine most suitable for Brunello di
Montalcino to be aged further. San Polo Rosso combines evident notes of freshness with a
structure that is easy to drink and enjoy.
Tasting Notes
Ruby red in color and clean on the palate, this Rosso offers juicy aromas of blackberries and black
cherries, followed by a nice hint of vanilla. Medium bodied with fine tannins, it is ideal with pasta or
risotto with meat based sauces, barbecued meats and mediumaged Parmigiano Reggiano.
