San Polino Brunello di Montalcino Helichrysum DOCG 2012

San Polino Brunello di Montalcino 2012 

The San Polino Brunello di Montalcino Helichrysum 2012 is a rare and powerful expression of Sangiovese, crafted from biodynamically farmed vineyards in the heart of Tuscany. Produced in a very limited bottling of only 3,000 bottles, this wine stands out for its concentration, depth and complexity. In fact, the Helichrysum label represents San Polino’s most distinctive selection, offering a bolder, more extracted style than the estate’s classic Brunello.
