Tuscany
Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history and artistic legacy.
As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, the region has an incredible art and architecture heritage.
Tuscany is certainly the most famous of all Italian regions for its wines. Sangiovese reigns in all its forms in the vineyards of Chianti but also Montepulciano and Montalcino.
It is also the land of the Super Tuscan, the Bordeaux blend style that laid the foundation of some of the greatest Italian wines.
As a pairing with these wines, Tuscany cuisine is based on simplicity but high quality and certainly topped with Tuscan olive oil, recognized all over the world.
San Polino
San Polino is about 8 hectares of Sangiovese vineyards which lie in 3 different plots of land. They are located at San Polino and to the north of Montalcino to 450m asl.
It was the first farm in Montalcino to obtain Organic certification, in 1994.
The owners, Luigi and Katia, have a holistic attitude to viticulture.
They believe that they must respect, encourage and restore the biodiversity in the vineyard.
To fertilize the fields, they make their own compost using the stalks of the grape bunches, the pressed grape skins, all the green cuttings, from grass to pruning and animal dung.
They plant grasses and beans to add nitrogen and nutrients to the soil.
