variety
Powerful and expressive, fresh and elegant – the Sangiovese of Tenuta San Giorgio translates into wines that reflect the eclectic personality of this land, shaped by the diversity of its soils and the generosity of its microclimate.
Here, winemaking is both interpretation and tribute.
Organic farming, low yields, and meticulous hand selection ensure that only healthy, intact fruit reaches the cellar at the peak of its natural vibrancy.
