Brunello di Montalcino “Ugolforte” DOCG 2016

Tenuta San Giorgio | Toskana
Collemassari S.p.A. s.a. | Via Di Porta Pinciana 6 | IT 00187 Roma

Die 2016er Ausgabe des Ugolforte ist ein wunderschönes Ebenbild dieses Jahrgangs. Unverfälscht, rassig, dynamisch und sehr präzise schreitet dieser Brunello voran. Im Bouquet deutlich nach reifer Kirsche, Tabak und etwas feuchter Erde. Am Gaumen zuerst das pure Sangiovese-Gefühl: schöne kleine rote Beeren, Wildkirsche, lebhafte Säure. Danach ein undurchdringliches Geflecht roter und schwarzer Früchte, die zusammen mit einem feinen Netz aus Tanninen und Mineralien mehr und mehr von sich preisgeben. Komprimiert und mit jedem Schluck offener und präsenter stellen sich die schön gefächerten Geschmackskomponenten dar, bis sie dann mit einem Hauch von Lakritze in einen aristokratisch langen und frischen Abgang münden. SUPERIORE.DE

"Feminin floraler Duft nach Veilchen, blauen Blumen, getrocknete rote Beeren und Blüten, Touch Zimt, Anis und Lakritze. Wunderbar saftig, feingliedrig, seidiges Tannin, finessenreiches Finale mit einem Touch Bitterschokolade. Toller Weinwert!" Weinwisser

"Sattes, leuchtendes Rubinrot. In der Nase schüchtern, gibt von allem etwas aber nicht zu viel Preis. Am Gaumen kompakt und geschliffen, engmaschiges Tannin, öffnet sich auf klarer, salziger Frucht, druckvoll und lange." Falstaff

"Blue-flower, star anise, coffee- bean and crushed mint aromas take shape in the glass. On the austere, linear palate, taut, close-grained tannins accompany sour cherry, blood orange and licorice while firm acidity keeps it light on its feet." Wine Enthusiast

"The San Giorgio 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte shows immediate richness and softness, with a smooth vinous texture that is fleshed out with ripe cherry, plum and dried blackberry. This expression offers extra dimension with a broad textural approach and attractive softness that is both velvety and elegant. There are earthy notes and hints of sour cherry on the close." Robert Parker

"Just after the 2016 harvest, the ColleMassari Group’s Claudio Tipa purchased the San Giorgio property and immediately started the conversion to organic viticulture. Ageing has also been adjusted - this no longer sees any new barriques and instead matures entirely in 30hL Slavonian oak casks. It shows wonderful restraint with subtle scents of lavender, lilac and mint blossom. Black cherry and earth appear on the palate, which is firm and admirably uncompromising in its constitution. A robust and concentrated yet buoyant Brunello." Decanter

"This red is fresh, with pure black cherry fruit accented by licorice, earth, tobacco and spice notes. Firmly structured yet more sleek than dense, thanks to a brisk acidity, the lingering tannins are offset by an echo of ripe fruit." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte is a dark beauty, impressing with its youthful poise but also its potential. Mint leaf and a dusting of cedar give way to crushed stone, wild strawberry and hints of flowery undergrowth. There are depths of velvety textures and polished red/black fruits, which create a sense of elegance; yet you can feel that there are layers here which are currently unseen. A complex web of fine tannins and minerals penetrate deeply, just as brisk acids and remnants of tart woodland berries fight to remain prevalent; yet all that remains is a hint of licorice. Wow." Vinous

"This is a full-bodied red with ripe blackberry, smoked-meat and burnt-orange notes. Strong tannins with a lots of chewiness. Quite tight on the finish. But there is pureness and beauty to this. More opulent than the 2015." James Suckling
