San Polo today
San Polo is a dynamic and environmentally friendly company, as evidenced by the avant-garde cellar designed according to the rules of bio-architecture.
Located on the south-eastern slope of the Montalcino hill, at an altitude of 450 metres, the 22 hectares of the estate, 16 of which are planted with Sangiovese, are characterized by a dry, ventilated microclimate, with strong diurnal and seasonal temperature variations. In the cellar, an admirable example of bio-architecture, designed to minimize energy expenditure and environmental impact, the grapes are processed with artisan care to enhance the finesse of the Sangiovese aromas. The essence of San Polo, in fact, is to bring the wines back to the vineyard that generated them, in order to express the concept of terroir to the maximum. The intervention of man wants nothing more than to bring wine closer to nature, adopting a viticulture that respects the soil, the microclimate and the biodiversity of the place, so that the biological cycle of the vineyard and the pedoclimatic context are in perfect harmony. Concepts of which our two Podernovi and Vignavecchia crus are the true quintessence: two vineyards so close but so different in terms of exposure, slope and soil characteristics.
