”In the best vintages, with the best grapes” Riccardo Fratton, Winemaker. "As occurs every year, the first day of the grape harvest for the production of Brunello is when we select the grapes that, hypothetically, will be earmarked for our Riserva. This is a special and precious wine that requires great care in the vineyard and in the winery. During the harvest, we choose only the best bunches by carrying out a first picking between the rows of vines, then we vinify separately and, only during the ageing period will we be able to decide whether the wine produced has the characteristics to become a great Riserva. In fact, in San Polo we produce Brunello di Montalcino Riserva only and exclusively in truly excellent vintages… vintages that seem to promise superb results, with excellent phenolic ripeness."
