A great introduction to San Polino and their farming practices . . .

Just a little video of San Polino with lots of great shots of the vineyards and the people.

Brief but gives you a great sense of where the wine comes from . . .

Helichrysum from San Polino . . .

San Polino also has a cuvee by the same name from the highest part of their estate vineyard.

Helichrysum is an herb that one finds all over the hills of Montalcino and it is in particular abundance at San Polino.  The smell of the countryside is the smell of Helichrysum among others.

In the bag today . . .

A good mix for being on the street today selling wine.  Some summer whites, a rosè, some cru Beaujolais, Italian Pinot(!) And some Barolo . . . as nothing says summertime like Barolo!  ;-)
