Allegrini's organic Brunello estate in Montalcino
San Polo is an organic Brunello di Montalcino estate on the sun-drenched southeastern slopes of Montalcino, overlooking the Sant'Antimo Valley and Mount Amiata. Founded in 1994 as Poggio San Polo, the estate was acquired in 2007 by Marilisa Allegrini — the celebrated Veneto winemaker behind the Allegrini family estates in Valpolicella — and is today run together with her daughters Carlotta and Caterina Mastella Allegrini. San Polo was the first winery in Tuscany to receive CasaClima Wine certification for its largely underground, sustainably designed cellar, and its 54 acres of vineyards have been certified organic since 2017. Working with oenologist Riccardo Fratton, the estate bottles single-vineyard Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, and Toscana IGT wines that have earned 95-point scores from Wine Spectator, James Suckling, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff, along with a No. 72 ranking in Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2023.
