Guido Folonari’s excellent Brunello di Montalcino ‘Ugolforte’ has come up trumps again, this time scoring 91 Points in the April 2010 edition of Wine Spectator. A multiple award winner, including Tre Biccheri (the highest award) in the 2010 Gambero Rosso, Ugolforte is quickly gaining notoriety as one of Italy’s great value Brunellos. Here’s what James Suckling had to say:
“Wonderful aromas to this wine of Indian spices and berries with hints of sultanas. Full bodied, with super velvety tannins and a long, flavourful finish. A subtle, complex and balanced wine. Best after 2010, but why wait?”
