Tenuta San Giorgio Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Ugolforte docg. 2018 0,75l

Ugolforte Riserva by Tenuta San Giorgio is a Brunello di Montalcino Riserva with a distinctive origin in Castelnuovo dell’Abate. Its Sangiovese comes from organically managed vineyards at 250 to 400 metres, rooted in poor, rocky soils of clay, tuff and galestro marl. Careful hand harvesting and long maceration in oak vats build depth and structure. In the glass it shows ruby red with garnet highlights. Aromas suggest sour cherry, plum, tobacco, leather, herbs and noble spice. On the palate it is powerful, balanced and persistent, made for game, roasts, aged cheeses and festive cuisine. A serious Tuscan red for collectors and fine dining.

Ageing in large oak casks gives the wine structure, depth and an elegant, intense expression.

Tenuta San Giorgio

South-east of Montalcino, in Tuscany, the presence of Monte Amiata is more than scenery, and at Tenuta San Giorgio it becomes a working climate: cooler nights, higher elevations and volcanic nuances around Castelnuovo dell’Abate sharpen Sangiovese’s expression....

The grape variety: Sangiovese

Sangiovese is Italy's leading red grape, famous in Tuscany. It brings cherry fruit, herbs, savoury spice, lively acidity and firm structure to many classic Italian wines.

It pairs beautifully with tomato pasta, pizza, grilled meat, roast pork, mushrooms and pecorino. A versatile choice for lovers of elegant, food-friendly reds. Sangiovese
