The southern part of Montalcino is known for bigger, more muscular, Brunello but here ridgetop vineyards open to cooling breezes break the mold. Give it a little air to wake up and you’ll be greeted with beautifully fresh red berry/cherry fruit and a silky, fine, textured Brunello that’s hard to stop drinking. Will improve for 10+ years, but irresistible already.
For You If: You’re after highly drinkable Brunello that doesn’t need 10 years cellar time to delight; you enjoy a more elegant, silky, style of Sangiovese at a low – for Brunello – 13.5% alcohol level.
Not For You If: You want a big wallop of dark black fruit and richly gripping tannins – this has plenty of fruit, but it’s more red/fresh and finishes fine and silky.
“The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte opens with a minty freshness as flint stone and dusty rose give way to crushed cherries. Silky and pliant, this possesses an elegance not often seen, with violet and lavender tones accentuating its polished red and blue fruits. This tapers off with sweet tannins balanced by an orange hint. A structured yet mouth-watering sensation lingers on. What a beauty this is.”
“There is deep black fruit and black plum on the San Giorgio 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte. although it takes a little patience to get there. The wine is restrained or closed initially, and it's hard to draw anything out for the first 15 minutes or so after the bottle is opened. Once it gets going, you are treated to sweet cherry, redwood, almond biscotti and dried rose potpourri. It ages in large Slavonian oak casks. Drink 2025-2037”
