This structured and enveloping expression offers an \u003cstrong\u003eelegant and spicy profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched with hints of wild strawberries, cherry and plum, blending with notes of leather, cedarwood, dried mandarin peel and nuances of truffle. On the palate, it stands out for its \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced and noble tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e, which provide a dense texture and remarkable persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from Castelnuovo dell’Abate, in the renowned Montalcino area. The \u003cstrong\u003ehillside vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e, situated at 450 metres above sea level on the slopes of Monte Amiata, benefit from a temperate Mediterranean climate and constant breezes. The vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003esoils composed of clay and stones\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched with Pliocene sediments, tuff and red earth. This geological complexity, combined with \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e and low yields, encourages optimal grape development and gives the wine a profound territorial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification of Sangiovese begins with fermentation in stainless steel vats, accompanied by gentle pumping over. This process allows for prolonged maceration and a \u003cstrong\u003eslow phenolic extraction\u003c\/strong\u003e, resulting in ripe and silky tannins. The ageing period includes twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a further two years in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e. A final period of rest allows the structure to consolidate, ensuring elegance and a clear aromatic definition that fully respects the nature of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUgolforte pays tribute to the heroic brigand who defended Montalcino in the 12th century, embodying the proud spirit of this exceptional \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e. Since 1982, Tenuta San Giorgio has enhanced pure Sangiovese through rigorous \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vineyards, located at 450 metres above sea level on the slopes facing Monte Amiata, are caressed by Mediterranean breezes and protected by woods that preserve their biodiversity. The low yields per hectare result in a wine awarded 94 points by James Suckling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tenuta San Giorgio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44954978943147,"sku":"55809","price":394.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/tenuta-san-giorgio-brunello-montalcino-ugolforte-2020_55809_1_0271c061-9e56-46e9-8d5b-b7f25b7bd005.webp?v=1773761228","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-hk\/products\/tenuta-san-giorgio-brunello-montalcino-ugolforte-2020","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
