Perched at high elevation on the southeastern slopes of Montalcino, San Carlo is a small organic estate whose vineyards are surrounded by forest and shaped by the cooler, wind-exposed conditions of this more rugged part of the appellation. The estate farms old-clone Sangiovese in galestro and clay-rich soils, producing wines that emphasize freshness, savory complexity, and transparency to site rather than weight or extraction. Their Rosso di Montalcino reflects this restrained philosophy, offering a more immediate and vibrant expression of the estate’s mountain-influenced terroir while retaining the structure and aromatic detail that define traditional Montalcino wines.
