Sangiovese from a small organic estate just northwest of Montalcino. An Italian red wine worth laying down.
Raspberry and spiced citrus lead the way, with ripe black fruit filling in behind. Lustrous mid ruby in the glass, it has a mineral, almost saline edge and a hint of dried flowers. The texture is velvety and the tannins chewy, and a bright core of acidity keeps it all juicy. If you're opening it now, give it a good hour or two in a decanter.

"2020 was a tough year for San Polino. Over 40 degrees in the summer and a smaller crop. Then September came good and the grapes came in beautifully ripe. It's a lovely one to give someone. Just tell them to keep it a year or two if they can."
Luigi Fabbro and Katia Nussbaum founded San Polino nearly 30 years ago, setting out to make wines that reflect the biodiversity of their land. The estate covers just 4 hectares of clay and marl at around 300m above sea level, farmed organically and biodynamically by the couple.
An Italian red wine with raspberry, spice and velvety tannins, scored 94 by James Suckling. Few bottles make a better gift for someone with a bit of patience.
