These are all wines chosen on a criteria of small farms in Tuscany, produced organically (with or without certification - please see Organic), famous and great value wines. Some of these wines are of a very limited production and are not exported.

Just like the oils, the wines must be reserved well in advance to guarantee the availability. For this reason you should email us first to check availability. You can choose single bottles per type, 3 bottles per type with 10% discount, or 6 bottles of a kind with 20% discount. The orders should be by the 12, 24, 36 ....

The shipping must be added in the end.

SAN POLINO

 

winery: SAN POLINO (location in Tuscany: Montalcino)

Rosso di Montalcino '04
San Polino is an organic certified boutique winery and the cure from the vineyards to the cellar is more than evident in the wines that are a pure result of what the year has decided to give, after a scrutinized selection. Nothing is added to the wine, apart from minimal quantities of Sulphur Dioxide.
This Rosso is of good structure and tannins, great undercurrent taste of red berries and black cherries. Being a fresh and bright Sangiovese, it drinks well already, but it wouldn't hurt to hang on to it another year or two.

winery: SAN POLINO (location in Tuscany: Montalcino)

Brunello di Montalcino '03
This was one of the best '03s tasted at the Benvenuto Brunello wine fair (for more on the fair please see blog posts: http://tuscan-wine-tours.blogspot.com/2008/02/benvenuto-brunello-2008-video-1.html). The '03 vintage was generally characterized by warm wines, but this Brunello stands up to its name and has kept the typical characteristics of the Brunello. The wine is already very well in balance and is, as always with San Polino's wines, very clean, suttle and true to itself. There is no doubt that this winery is going to show us a lot more in the future and we can't wait!

winery: SAN POLINO (location in Tuscany: Montalcino)

Brunello di Montalcino "Helichrysum" '03
This special selection Brunello takes its name from the herb called Helichrysum, a wild Mediterranean herb that grows on the fields of San Polino. This Brunello's bouquet reminds you of the wonderful perfume that this herb has, which is why the winery has chosen to call the wine by the name of the much loved herb. For the small price difference, this is definitely the one to get if you prefer very fine wines. Only 1.600 bottles made.

Brunello di Montalcino '02
The maintenance and increase of biodiversity and particularly of the variety of ecosystems within the estate reinforce the natural propensity of the Sangiovese, thus producing richer and more complex wines.
This Brunello vintage has given a powerful wine of great concentration with notes of minerals, figs and prune and an evident vanilla finish. Very pleasing depth and deserves to be drunk in the company of steak or mature cheeses.

So very full-bodied, elegant and complex, and in your mouth it just goes on and on...
This Brunello will have a long life, so great investment!

NB. Very few cases left. See review.
