What kind of wine is Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 'Ugolforte' 2020 - Tenuta San Giorgio
The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 'Ugolforte' 2020 - Tenuta San Giorgio is made from the best Sangiovese grapes grown in the vineyards of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, in the heart of one of Montalcino's most renowned areas. It is a red wine of great elegance and structure, capable of authentically expressing the territory from which it originates. Its balance between power and finesse makes it ideal both for those approaching great Tuscan reds and for those seeking a Brunello with a classic yet accessible personality.Vintage details
The 2020 vintage was characterized by a balanced and consistent climate, with well-distributed rainfall and ideal temperatures for optimal grape ripening. The harvest, carried out by hand in early October, allowed only the healthiest and most mature bunches to be selected. The result is a wine with a clean and intense profile, where freshness and complexity coexist in perfect harmony.Winemaking and aging
After harvesting, the must ferments in large steel tanks with a long period of contact between the skins and the wine, a phase called maceration, which serves to extract color, tannins, and aromas. This is followed by about three years of aging in wood: the first twelve months in first and second-passage barriques, and the remaining two years in large Slavonian oak barrels. This process gives the wine a solid and profound structure, but also surprising softness in the tannins.Tasting notes
