Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte 2018 Tenuta San Giorgio

Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte 2018 by Tenuta San Giorgio is a Tuscan red wine of strong identity, made from 100% Sangiovese and designed for those seeking elegance, depth, and the ability to evolve. The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG designation expresses here an authentic and territorial style, with a personality that combines structure, finesse, and a complex aromatic profile.

Territory and wine style

Production takes place in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, in the municipality of Montalcino, in an area dedicated to the great tradition of Brunello. The grapes come from vineyards located between 300 and 450 meters above sea level, a context that favors balance and expressive definition. Aging in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by resting in the bottle, helps to create a harmonious, classic, and long-lived wine, capable of enhancing the essence of Sangiovese without overshadowing it.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a brilliant ruby red with garnet reflections, a sign of a structure that is already elegant and oriented towards evolution. The bouquet is broad and deep, with notes of ripe red fruits, dog rose, sweet tobacco, licorice, and medicinal herbs. On the palate, the Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte 2018 is full and enveloping, supported by fine and well-integrated tannins, balanced freshness, and a long, savory, and balsamic finish. It is a wine of character, yet always measured, with a texture that invites time and contemplation.

Recommended pairings

Its structure makes it ideal with flavorful and rich preparations, such as beef fillet, Tuscan wild boar, and roasted lamb. Excellent also with pici pasta with ragù di cinta senese, chianina stew, and dishes from traditional Tuscan cuisine with a strong taste. It also expresses itself very well with aged cheeses, particularly pecorino from Pienza and raw milk cheeses, with which it finds a pleasant balance between intensity and complexity.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate the Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte 2018, a serving temperature of 18°C is recommended.
