Tenuta San Giorgio farms 62 acres of vines across a 360-acre Montalcino estate, holding yields to a punishing 4–5 tons per hectare. The kind of restraint that shows up in the glass rather than on the label. The 2018 Ugolforte is Sangiovese with a dark core of red and black berry fruit wrapped in earth, leather, smoke, and herbs, full across the mid-palate with firm tannin and an acidity that keeps the whole thing lifted. This is classic Brunello, no shortcuts taken.

Tasting Notes

San Giorgio Ugolforte presents a dark core of red and black berry fruit layered with earth, leather, smoke, and herbs. Complex and elegant, the wine is full on the palate and firm in tannin structure. Refreshing acidity frames a graceful finish. Classic Brunello di Montalcino.

“The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte is understated in the glass, lifted and delicate, with white pepper, pretty rose and nuances of dried strawberry. This envelopes the palate with soft textures and soothingly ripe red fruits contrasted with savory spices and inner herbal tones. The 2018 lingers long, showing balsamic nuances and salted licorice, as gentle tannins frame but don’t slow its momentum. It will be interesting to follow this understated beauty through its maturity.”
