Tasting note

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte is beautiful and crisp in this vintage, with well-delineated aromatics and layers of vibrant fruit. In 2006 the Ugolforte comes across as rather feminine in style, but it seems to gain an attractive richness and sense of volume on the finish. All of the elements flow together gracefully in this understated, classy Brunello. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. Score - 93. (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, May 2011)

Deep brilliant garnet colour with slight orange reflections. Ample and complexe bouquet, reminiscent of cherry, prune, mint and sweet tobacco. Very full bodied and harmonic, silky and slightly dry with impressively long and pleasantly fruity aftertaste.
