Uccelliera, Brunello di Montalcino, 2020 (wine arriving February 2025)
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Uccelliera has earned its place among Montalcino’s top producers, crafting Brunello with both intensity and finesse. Located in the warmer, clay-limestone-rich soils of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, their vineyards produce wines with deep concentration and structure. The 2020 vintage, shaped by a warm yet well-balanced growing season, highlights the estate’s signature richness while maintaining vibrancy and lift.
Dark cherry, plum, and dried rose petals lead the way, followed by layers of tobacco, leather, and Mediterranean herbs. The tannins are firm yet polished, giving the wine depth and aging potential, while a streak of minerality keeps it fresh. Extended aging in large oak casks refines the texture, allowing the wine’s complexity to unfold beautifully.
While this Brunello is already expressive with some air, it will evolve gracefully over the next 10–20 years. Decant if opening young, or cellar for added nuance. A perfect match for bistecca Fiorentina, wild boar ragù, or aged pecorino, this is a classic Montalcino to savor.
