An Outstanding Wine from Italy San Polo is a beautiful estate located in the southeastern part of Montalcino, overlooking the Sant’Antimo valley and Mount Amiata. The estate is owned by Marilisa Allegrini, co-owner of the renowned Allegrini winery in Veneto and Leonardo LoCascio, President of Winebow, Inc. In their commitment to make San Polo one of the leading estates in Montalcino, Marilisa and Leonardo have hired one of the leaders in Italian winemaking: Carlo Ferrini. TASTING NOTES Brilliant ruby red in color, Rubio offers fresh aromas of red cherries, violets and currants, followed by subtle spice and vanilla notes. This is a youthful and easy-to-drink wine that offers great versatility: it's great by the glass and ideal for al fresco barbecues! Rubio is a delicious accompaniment to pasta with tomato sauce, pizza, grilled sausages and with Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses.
