Tenuta San Giorgio

Directly facing the towering mass of Mount Amiata to the southeast of Montalcino, San Giorgio is situated on the rocky, steep slopes around the town of Castelnuovo dell’Abate. Tempering Mediterranean breezes give this area a favourable climate, above the deep valley of the Orcia river. The Sangiovese is grown between 250 and 400 metres’ altitude, with low-yielding vines on soils rich in clay, rocks and marine fossils, resulting in wines that combine minerality and a purity of fruit.
