Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Ugolforte 2012 Tenuta San Giorgio

The Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte of Tenuta San Giorgio was born in the vineyards located in Montalcino, in the hamlet of Castelnuovo dell'Abate.

It is produced exclusively with Sangiovese grapes harvested entirely by hand in early October. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, then a second malolactic fermentation takes place. Aging takes place for 12 months in French oak barrels, for 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels, and finally for a further 12 months in bottle.

Ugolforte is characterized by an intense and brilliant garnet red color with light orange reflections. The nose is broad and intense, with hints of cherries, plums and mint, enriched with pleasant notes of sweet tobacco. On the palate it is harmonious and full-bodied, with a persistent and fruity aftertaste.

Perfect to accompany risotto, cold cuts and cold cuts appetizers, it is ideal in combination with stewed meat recipes and aged cheeses.
