San Carlo is a great small family owned producer just south of Montalcino. They make very good wines including Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino.
We would classify this winemaker as a traditional winemaker, respecting nature and tradition.
They are in a very good location surrounded by forests which results in their wines having great layers and structure

Looks like an excellent vintage.
