Tenuta San Giorgio Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Ugolforte 2018

Tenuta San Giorgio’s Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Ugolforte 2018 is a finely structured expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most celebrated appellations. As a Riserva, it brings extra depth, complexity, and longevity, making it a compelling choice for collectors and lovers of serious Italian red wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep garnet core with ruby highlights, hinting at its youth and concentration. The nose is layered and elegant, often opening with ripe cherry, wild berry, violet, dried herbs, and subtle notes of spice, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, expect a wine with firm tannins, bright acidity, and excellent definition, combining red fruit purity with earthy, savory complexity. The finish is long and composed, with the structure to develop beautifully over time. This is a wine with strong aging potential, likely to gain nuance and harmony with several years in cellar.

Production
Produced from carefully selected vineyard parcels in the Montalcino area, the wine reflects the region’s warm Tuscan climate and soils that help Sangiovese achieve both power and finesse. The Riserva designation suggests rigorous selection and extended maturation, with harvesting typically done by hand to preserve fruit quality. Vinification is traditionally focused on preserving varietal character and structure, followed by aging in wood and bottle to build depth and refine tannins.

Food & Serving
This Brunello Riserva pairs beautifully with rich, flavorful dishes such as roasted lamb, braised beef, wild game, truffle pasta, and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1 hour, or longer if the wine is still very youthful, to allow its aromatics and structure to open fully.
