San Filippo Lo Scorno Rosso di Montalcino 2019

Situated in the splendid area of Montalcino close to Biondi Santi's Il Greppo, the wines of San Filippo are ageworthy and elegant, though very approachable in their youth. The estate totals 22 hectares, 11 of which are under vine, dedicated mostly to Sangiovese, with a small olive grove as well. Founded in 1972 (1977 was the 1st year of production), the estate was recently purchased by Roberto Giannelli who restored and renovated the entire facility. With the help of Paolo Caciorgna, Gianelli is producing this delicious Rosso di Montalcino aged 6 months in used barriques and large casks.
