Tenuta Giorgio was founded in 1982, located in Castelnuovo dell’Abate in the south-eastern part of Montalcino in a unique position, at 400 mt a.s.l on the top of a ridge. The vines cover 26 hectares and there are 26 hectares of olive groves. The winery is located near Castelnuovo dell’Abate in the municipality of Montalcino, not far from the Sant’Antimo abbey.

The winery has been part of the ColleMassari Group since 2016.
The San Giorgio estate is situated in an outstanding location, overlooking the Orcia valley and exposed to the climate of Mount Amiata.
The natural elements co-operate to offer to this area a very favourable dry climate, caused by the Mediterranean breeze coming from West and with powerful temperature uctutions between day and night, especially at the end of summer.

The Estate extends its property to over 142 hectares of which 26 ha are under vine and 26 ha are olive groves. The vineyards are positioned on steep rocky slopes, at an altitude ranging between 250 and 400 mt. facing east and south- east. The training system is “Cordon Spur” with a very low yield per hectare.

Thanks to the peculiar position of the vineyards and the variety of the terroirs this grape has plenty of space to express its complexity and personality. The average age of the vines is around 20 years. During the harvest the grapes are selected and picked manually.

Initially dominated by blueberries, then develops greater presence of red fruits, with violet and black cherry flavors rising on the long coffee and oaky finish.
Beautifully pure and inviting, with sweeping acidity and soft and ripe tannins.

SUITABLE WITH
Grilled meat, game, cheese and truffle dishes.

TASTING
