The Brunello di Montalcino "Ugolforte" of San Giorgio is an extraordinary wine, produced with the best grapes from the vineyards located in Castelnuovo dell'Abate. The vinification of this wine begins with a long fermentation in large steel tanks, characterized by a prolonged contact between the skins and the must, to extract the best aromatic and structural components of grapes.
The aging continues in first and second-pass barriques for twelve months, followed by a further two years of ageing in large Slavonian oak barrels. This process gives the wine a remarkable complexity and depth, making it as enveloping as reactive. The name "Ugolforte" is inspired by a famous brigand who, in the 12th century, led the people of Montalcino against the occupation of Siena, a symbol of courage and endurance that is reflected in the robust and determined character of this wine.
At first sight, the "Ugolforte" Brunello di Montalcino has a dark ruby red colour, enriched by light garnet reflections. The bouquet is broad and complex, offering hints of fruit in jam like cherry and plum, accompanied by notes of mint, sweet tobacco and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is harmonious, relaxed and enveloping, with an impeccable balance and a rare elegance. The finish is long and persistent, with a subtle spicy note that further enhances its depth.
This Brunello di Montalcino is a perfect example of elegance and structure, able to improve with time and offer a memorable tasting experience. Perfect to pair with red meat, game and aged cheeses, it is a wine that lends itself to special occasions and moments of reflection.

Wines of Tuscany
Tuscany, or Toscana in Italian, is one of the most iconic Italian regions for wine, scenery, and history. Located in central Italy along the west coast, its production of Sangiovese wines is world renowned. Some of Italy’s most famous subregions for Sangiovese such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano can be found here.
Tuscany makes both simple and top tier, age worthy Sangiovese wines. At entry-level you have a wine that is pizza and pasta friendly with bright and juicy red fruit. On the other hand, the highest quality representations of Sangiovese are remarkably complex with flavours ranging from sour cherry, balsamic, dried herbs and leather to fresh earth, dried flowers, anise and tobacco.
In evidence of the quality produced, Tuscany produces the third highest volume of DOC and DOCG quality wines in Italy, only trailing Piedmont, and Veneto. DOC and DOCG wines are the highest designation for Italian wines, while you will often see the IGT classification used to represent wines from Toscana that do not reach the standards for DOC/G.
There is another unofficial class of Tuscan wines called Super Tuscans which also command high prices. These wines are often made from international wine varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, with or without Sangiovese.
