Tenuta San Giorgio Brunello Montalcino Ugolforte 2020

Still organic red Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, 13.5% ABV, produced by Tenuta San Giorgio. 100% Sangiovese, 0.75L bottle, 2020 vintage. A Brunello made from vineyards located in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, Montalcino. Tenuta San Giorgio is exclusively dedicated to Sangiovese, the emblematic grape of this land. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats with gentle, repeated pumping over, allowing for long macerations and the slow release of only the finest, fully ripe tannins. Aged in first-passage barriques (30%), second-passage barriques (70%), and third-passage barriques (70%), where the wine ages for 12 months. Aged in 30 and 50 Hl Slavonian oak barrels for a further 24 months. It exudes highly inviting aromas of wild strawberries, leather, cedar wood, and dried mandarin peel. Rich in elegance and balanced on the palate. Notes of cedarwood, plums, and juicy figs are also discernible, along with a subtle hint of truffle. The tannins are balanced and delicate, creating a tight yet complex structure. Extremely layered and exciting.
