Ugolforte Riserva
BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG RISERVA
Ugolforte is gown in vineyards averaging 20-25 years old, lying at elevations between 250-400 metres in Castelnuovo Dell'Abate, in the southeast quadrant of Montalcino.
The soils are nutrient-poor and rocky, composed largely of clay and tuff, with admixtures of clay and galestro marl. Organic management based on practices deeply respectful of the environment encourages a totally natural vegetation-crop balance with a low crop per hectare. All the grapes are hand- harvested, with meticulous in-vineyard quality selection. Fermentation is in oak vats, with lengthy macerations, after which the wine matures for 42 months in 30hl Slavonian oak ovals. It was bottled in June 2023. The wine is named for Ugolforte, a famous local brigand who in the 12th century led the Montalcino populace against the Sienese occupation.
