Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances
of garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean,
pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of violet and
black cherry followed by aromas of blueberry, plum, blackberry, vanilla,
tobacco, licorice, cocoa, cinnamon, mace, menthol and hints of leather. The
mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is
very persistent with long flavors of black cherry, plum and blueberry. A
well made wine. This Brunello di Montalcino ages for 36 months in cask
followed by 18 months of aging in bottle.
