Tasting notes
The San Giorgio 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte (with 30,000 bottles made) is a little subdued when compared to the 2016 vintage, and it delivers broad aromas of plummy dark fruit, spice and crushed roses. The wine is mid-weight in texture, but there is a good amount of power packed within, thanks to the wine's structure and its compact fruit.

Lustrous mid ruby. Ripe cherry fruit with a tiny hint of vanilla. Generous and juicy and with no apparent oak on the palate. Long and lush and with a soft, tannic bite. Great balance. (WS)
Lots of ripe plum and fresh flowers on the nose follow through to a full body with layers of fruit and polished yet chewy tannins. Sort of dusty texture. Flavorful and delicious. Transparent.
