San Giorgio Ciampoleto Rosso di Montalcino
Wine Description
The San Giorgio estate vineyards are essentially a continuation of the coveted Poggio di Sotto site in Castelnuovo dell'Abate. As such, the Sangiovese Grosso cultivated here benefits from the same climatic conditions, soils, and exposures as its world-renowned sibling. As part of the Collemassari Group of estates, San Giorgio's vines are now managed and vinified by the same world-class winemaking team of Tuscan icons, Poggio di Sotto and Grattamacco.
The name “Ciampoleto” is an old term which often was used to describe those unique Farming hills, located in Siena areas, known for its mild climate and prestigious location, to make them literally special.

Wine Production
The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with gentle and repeated pumping over, allowing a long maceration and slow release of noble and fully ripe tannins. Aging is carried out for 12 months in Slavonian oak casks and concrete vats.
About the Vineyard
This wine is produced from the younger vines (10 -15 years old) of the estate, situated between 250 and 400 meters above sea level. The soil is rich with calcareous deposits and clay. The climate is mild and Mediterranean with nearly constant winds, creating an ideal environment for minimally invasive viticulture.
