“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.” — acclaim for 2019 San Giorgio Ugolforte Brunello di Montalcino from Wine Advocate, Dec 2023

“A sweet nose of vanilla, toasted coconut and candied cherry is balanced by undertones of wild herbs. On the palate, that sweetness evolves with figs and chocolate, while crushed stones and soil amplify the savory. Notable tannins are almost chewy with density and structure.”

“The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte is understated in the glass, lifted and delicate, with white pepper, pretty rose and nuances of dried strawberry. This envelopes the palate with soft textures and soothingly ripe red fruits contrasted with savory spices and inner herbal tones. The 2018 lingers long, showing balsamic nuances and salted licorice, as gentle tannins frame but don’t slow its momentum. It will be interesting to follow this understated beauty through its maturity.”
