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.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is spellbinding. Youthfully coy, it features a minty freshness and wild herbal thrust, giving way to bright cherry-berry fruit complicated by hints of worn leather. This is energetic and spry, yet elegant to the core, with crisp wild berries and a cascade of sweet spice elevated by zesty acidity. Tannic and potent yet still fresh, the 2020 lingers with a resonance of tart cranberry and sour citrus that leaves the cheeks puckered and the palate thirsting for more. This is a wild vintage of Uccelliera's Brunello di Montalcino. It's structured for the long haul yet already such a pleasure to taste."

Robert Parker

RP 91
"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino shows a dark color and earthy notes that lean into oxidation. The wine's alcohol content is a potent 15%. The bouquet does not show the same clarity as past vintages, but you do get plenty of baked plum and blackcurrant. This is not my favorite vintage from one of my favorite producers. The wine ends with accessible, open-knit tannins. Production is 33,600 bottles plus larger formats."

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. A nose that already shows some development, with hints of sour cherry, but is overall rather subdued. Supple cherry fruit with gravelly tannins, but lacks a little in fruit concentration on the finish."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 95
"Aromas of fragrant purple flower mingle with spiced plum and Mediterranean scrub on the bold 2020 Uccelliera Brunello. It's enveloping and delicious, doling out raspberry jam, fleshy Marasca cherry, licorice and grilled sage accompanied by velvety tannins. A hint of spiced orange zest brightens the finish."
