Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG "Ugolforte" 2018 - Tenuta San Giorgio

A Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG from Tenuta San Giorgio, grown at Castelnuovo dell'Abate in vineyards between 250 and 400 metres above sea level on poor, rocky soils of clay and tuff. The vines average about 20-25 years of age and the grapes are cultivated with respect for the environment and balanced spontaneous production. Vinification in wood and cement is followed by 30 months' ageing in Slavonian oak barrels. The wine is full and enveloping, with dark fruit and sweet spice. It shows a bright ruby colour with garnet reflections, with dark fruit, preserves and sweet spices on the nose. The palate is full and sustained, with firm, enveloping, savoury tannins. It finishes long, coherent and balanced, leaving the mouth fresh and satisfied.
