"Interesting notes of small forest fruits and flowers, mushrooms and undergrowth; compact on the palate, the tannins fine-grained, supported by the acidity, ends long on notes of red berries, balsamic, harmonious." Vinum

"Aged in 30 hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels, this debut vintage is extroverted and vibrant, with aromas of sweet herbs, ginger, tobacco and dried orange peel. The palate is ripe and full-bodied with juicy red and blackcurrant flavours, supported by youthful and robust, yet supple and approachable tannins. 7,000 bottles were produced." Decanter

"The Brunello di Montalcino Ugolforte Riserva 2018 shows a completely different intensity with dried cherries, raspberry jam, redcurrants and Red Delicious apple. The wine is very generous and densely packed in terms of flavours. The tannins are fine and chalky, but definitely on the more approachable side of the spectrum for a Brunello Riserva." Wine Advocate

"This round red wine with flavours of cherries, strawberries, iron and tobacco is intense and elegant, with a dense tannin matrix and a lively acidity that accompanies it to a long, detailed aftertaste. A harmonious wine that should develop well." Wine Spectator

"Very intense nose of lemon leaves, rosebuds and pomegranates. The freshness is supported by a soft palate with full body, crisp acidity and dense, velvety tannins of great ripeness. Refined, flavoursome and lively on the finish." James Suckling
