San Giorgio Ugolforte Brunello di Montalcino Italy 2019
San Giorgio Ugolforte Brunello di Montalcino Italy 2019
The San Giorgio estate vineyards are essentially a continuation of the coveted Poggio di Sotto site in Castelnuovo dell'Abate. As such, the Sangiovese Grosso cultivated here benefits from the same climatic conditions, soils, and exposures as its world-renowned sibling. As part of the Collemassari Group of estates, San Giorgio's vines are now managed and vinified by the same world-class winemaking team of Tuscan icons, Poggio di Sotto and Grattamacco.

“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 ti 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.”
