Critic reviews
"Extremely perfumed, with aromas of black cherries, white roses, cedar and sandalwood that follow through to a medium body with gorgeous subtle fruit, fine tannins and a fresh and succulent finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better in a couple of years."
James Suckling, December 2025, JamesSuckling.com
"Mid ruby. Quite closed with a note of garden herbs and hints of sweet, crushed raspberry. With aeration, great purity of fruit on the nose. Pure raspberry fruit with loads of chewy tannins. Very long and focused while the tannins demand more time. Has the stuffing for ageing. Perfumed finish of raspberry and garden herbs."

"With vineyards in two different zones, San Polino keeps them separate, highlighting the diversity of Montalcino. From plots on the region’s cooler northern slope, this takes some coaxing to tease out exotic spice, walnut and orange zest. A juicy mix of sour red and dark black cherry fills out the palate. Clayey tannins are well formed and persistent. A deftly balanced expression of the ample fruit and ripe sturdy structure in 2021."
