Tenuta San Giorgio Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte 2016 0,75l
Ugolforte is the Brunello di Montalcino from Tenuta San Giorgio, produced from 100% Sangiovese grown around Castelnuovo dell’Abate. The organically farmed grapes undergo a long maceration before ageing in large vats and oak casks. The bouquet shows ripe cherries and wild berries alongside rosewood, liquorice, spices and balsamic herbs. On the palate Ugolforte is juicy and full yet finely chiselled, with grainy but ripe tannins and vibrant, well integrated acidity. Mineral tones and a hint of smokiness underline the wine’s depth and freshness. The long, harmonious finish makes Ugolforte a classic partner for braised beef, lamb, game dishes and aged hard cheeses.
Long ageing in large oak casks brings Sangiovese fruit, tannin and spice together in a mature Brunello with depth.
