The magnum, as a format, is disastourously underrated in the Australian drinking culture.

Why do we love this wine?
San Polino is the first biodynamic estate in Brunello, and they’re a subscriber to the saying, ‘wine is made in the vineyard’. It shows. A tiny producer, they make this biodynamic red from the highest vineyards on the San Polino site. There’s a little time in French oak, before 3 years ageing in large Slavonian oak. Brooding, but fresh, with black and blue fruits galore, tied down by red cherry-like acidity and fine, strapping tannins. Yet, there’s also layers of licorice and tobacco, along with a coffee bean-like energy and a raspberry-like simplicity. This simplicity belies the layers; polished yes, but complex and oozing potential. It’s a wine that had James Suckling say ‘wow’. Long, perfumed, youthful. Age, decant. Love it long time
