Uccelliera is one of Montalcino’s elite producers, crafting bold yet impeccably balanced Brunello from their prized vineyards in Castelnuovo dell’Abate. Their Brunello Riserva is only made in exceptional years, and the 2019 vintage captures the estate’s signature power and depth. Aged extensively in oak, it gains remarkable structure while preserving the purity of its fruit, reflecting both the richness of the vintage and the finesse of Uccelliera’s winemaking.

Layers of black cherry, plum, and dried rose unfold, backed by notes of tobacco, leather, and Mediterranean herbs. The tannins are firm yet polished, giving the wine incredible length and aging potential. A mineral streak from the vineyard’s limestone-rich soils adds further complexity, while bright acidity keeps everything in perfect balance.

This is Brunello built for the long haul—best enjoyed after a few years in the cellar but stunning now with extended decanting. Pair it with bistecca Fiorentina, slow-braised short ribs, or aged pecorino to highlight its depth and elegance. A true collector’s wine, ready to evolve for decades.

"Hauntingly dark, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva displays a lovely elegance. A bouquet of mentholated black cherries and balsamic spices is lifted by whiffs of dried sage and pine shavings. Velvety smooth and nearly creamy in feel, it floods the palate with hints of ripe red and blue fruit. It has a core of zesty acidity maintains amazing energy and freshness. This leaves the senses enshrouded in a veil of fine-grained tannins, dramatically long and structured but with a concentration of primary saturation to balance. Bury this deep in the cellar—it's a masterpiece in the making." -Vinous

"We have not seen a Riserva from Uccelliera in a few years. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva wears a heavy mantle of oak that adds sweet cinnamon and vanilla stick. Those oak tones are prominent, but they do remain sweet and hydrated nonetheless; and that's a plus, because you don't get drying tannins, although there is a pinch of astringency at this young stage. Blackberry and dried rose potpourri are featured along with sandalwood and sauna wood. The alcohol content is high at 15.5%. This is a release of 10,400 bottles plus larger formats, and it should be interesting to watch its bottle evolution." -Robert Parker
