San Polo Amphora Vignamasso 2020

San Polo’s Amphora Vignamasso 2020 is a strikingly modern yet deeply traditional expression of Sangiovese from Montalcino. Produced from the single vineyard “Vigna del Masso,” this wine is fermented and aged in terracotta amphorae using whole clusters and minimal intervention techniques, resulting in a wine of purity, texture, and energetic finesse. The Allegrini family’s commitment to sustainability and innovation shines through in this elegant Toscana IGT bottling.

Appearance:
Bright ruby red with subtle garnet reflections, showing clarity and vibrancy in the glass.

Aroma:
Lifted aromas of wild strawberries, red cherries, damson plum, dried rose petals, and blood orange intertwine with savoury notes of liquorice, baked clay, roasted herbs, iron, and earthy undergrowth. A subtle smoky mineral edge adds further complexity.

Taste:
Medium-bodied and beautifully poised, the palate delivers vivid red berry fruit layered with spice, terracotta earthiness, and fine herbal nuances. The amphora ageing lends remarkable textural purity and freshness, while the tannins remain lively yet refined. Energetic acidity keeps the wine focused and graceful throughout.

Finish:
Long, savoury, and mineral-driven, with lingering notes of cherry skin, dried herbs, subtle spice, and fine earthy tannins.

Food Pairing:
Excellent with grilled lamb, wild mushroom risotto, duck ragu, bistecca fiorentina, aged pecorino, or slow-cooked game dishes.
