Tasting Notes: San Giorgio Ugolforte presents a dark core of red and blackberry fruit layered with earth, leather, smoke, and herbs. Complex and elegant, the wine is full on the palate and firm in tannin structure. Refreshing acidity frames a graceful finish. Classic Brunello di Montalcino.

97 points, WinesCritic.com: “Extremely deep and captivating on the nose, it shows notes of lavender, hibiscus flowers, hibiscus, jasmine, mandarin peel, lemon juice and fresh ginger. Compact and dense in the main ‘core’ it shows a series of really intense medicinal herbs in the Mediterranean character. Medium-full body, perfectly ripe tannins and a hard and tense finish that will need time to relax. Better from 2027. 97 points.” –Raffaele Vecchione, WinesCritic.com, Jun 2023
