Have you ever visited a vineyard that chooses to help, not hurt, Mother Nature?
I took this image while visiting Marilisa Allegrini San Polo estate in Montalcino.
The most remarkable thing I recall about this place is its energy - boundlessly imbued in its w**es.
In case you are not aware, the Allegrini family has been growing grapes since the 16th c. in Italy.
In 2023, Marilisa and her daughters founded Marilisa Allegrini Group, which includes San Polo in Tuscany, as well as Villa Della Torre in Valpolicella and Poggio al Tesoro in Bolgheri.
As Marilisa explains, "San Polo, in Montalcino, reflects another important part of a philosophy which has been deeply influenced by my daughters and future generations.
Its commitment to organic viticulture, sustainable architecture, and social responsibility embodies my belief that caring for the land — and our people — is essential to the future of w**emaking.
Surrounded by the Tuscan countryside, the estate brings together the traditions of Brunello with a thoughtful approach to sustainability and hospitality, creating an experience that honors both the region’s heritage and its natural beauty."
