Tenuta San Giorgio is part of Guido Folonari oenological project, heir to a family history of Italian wine, or three estates representing the most renowned Italian territories: La Morra, Bolgheri and Montalcino. The estate is located in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, in a beautiful setting in the magic of Montalcino.

The cellar of the Tenuta San Giorgio was completely renovated and equipped with all the latest technologies, prepared with high-quality oak barrels, which allow the wine to stand up to the full maturation. Product quality, the constant search for improvement and uniqueness of a product linked to a territorito identifiable are the values that have always guided this extraordinary reality.
