Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history and artistic legacy.<\/p>\n
As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, the region has an incredible art and architecture heritage.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
It is also the land of the Super Tuscan, the Bordeaux blend style that laid the foundation of some of the greatest Italian wines.<\/p>\n
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.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”15566″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
It was the first farm in Montalcino to obtain Organic certification, in 1994.<\/p>\n
The owners, Luigi and Katia, have a holistic attitude to viticulture.<\/p>\n
They believe that they must respect, encourage and restore the biodiversity in the vineyard.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
They plant grasses and beans to add nitrogen and nutrients to the soil.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
