As such, the Sangiovese Grosso cultivated here benefits from the\u003cbr\u003esame climatic conditions, soils, and exposures as its world-renowned sibling. As part of the\u003cbr\u003eCollemassari Group of estates, San Giorgio's vines are now managed and vinified by the same\u003cbr\u003eworld-class winemaking team of Tuscan icons, Poggio di Sotto and Grattamacco.\u003cbr\u003eThe name “Ugolforte” comes from a well-known bandit which during the XII century has lead the\u003cbr\u003erebellion of Montalcino’s people against the power of Siena.\u003cbr\u003eThis wine is produced from the estate's most mature vines (20 years old on average), situated\u003cbr\u003ebetween 250 and 400 meters above sea level. The soil is rich with calcareous deposits and clay.\u003cbr\u003eThe climate is mild and Mediterranean with nearly constant winds, creating an ideal\u003cbr\u003eenvironment for minimally invasive viticulture.\u003cbr\u003eThe fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with gentle and repeated pumping over,\u003cbr\u003eallowing a long maceration and slow release of noble and fully ripe tannins.
