San Polo Brunello di Montalcino is a prestigious Italian red wine from the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG appellation in Tuscany, Italy, made entirely from Sangiovese (Brunello) grapes. This 750ml bottle comes from one of the region's most celebrated estates, co-owned by renowned winemaker Marilisa Allegrini and Leonardo LoCascio, and sold at Costco in cases of six.

The wine opens with a fragrant bouquet of violets and small red fruits, with hints of underbrush, aromatic wood, vanilla, and jam. On the palate, it delivers rich flavors of raspberry, strawberry, boysenberry, cherries, and white pepper, with a long finish supported by round, refined tannins and a juicy texture. Subtle notes of coffee and Spanish cedar add complexity. The estate is certified organic and holds the CasaClima award for energy efficiency, making it Tuscany's first winery to earn this distinction.

Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy's most age-worthy wines, requiring significant oak and bottle aging before release under DOCG regulations. Recent vintages have earned exceptional critical acclaim, with the 2019 vintage receiving 95 points from both James Suckling and Wine Spectator, as well as a Mundus Vini Gold award.
