The Rosso di Montalcino Ciampoleto from Tenuta San Giorgio is a refined expression of the Montalcino territory, born from an artisanal approach that honors Tuscan tradition. The estate is located in the southeastern area of the municipality, in a hilly position that benefits from a microclimate ideal for growing Sangiovese. The vineyards, situated between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, grow on soils rich in galestro and clay, which give the wine its structure and complexity. Made from 100% hand-harvested Sangiovese grapes, the wine undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a few months of aging in medium-sized oak barrels. The result is a young yet substantial wine that represents the fresher, more accessible soul of the appellation, perfect for those wanting to discover Montalcino’s authentic character.
