Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino, 2019

Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino, 2019

Regular price $84.00

100% Sangiovese from the southern part of the Montalcino sub-zone. The wine is aged for 24 months in a mix of French and Slavonian Oak. Winemaker Andrea Cortonesi makes his wines that adapt to the warmer subclimate, and opts for a slightly riper expression of Sangiovese than you usually know. But the wines are velvety and smooth with soft acidity and a rustic earthiness Brunello is known for. Pair it with a roasted cornish hen seasoned with lemon, rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes.

Details

From our Importer: Andrea Cortonesi reflects the best of the artisan spirit in Montalcino. The Uccelleria wines are rich, layered and beautifully textured.” – Antonio Galloni

“Without a shadow of a doubt, Andrea Cortonesi of Uccelliera lands high on my list of favorite Brunello di Montalcino producers.” – The Wine Advocate

The Uccelliera estate was at once part of neighboring Ciacci Piccolomini until 1986, when winemaker Andrea Cortonesi purchased it from his friends and former employers. After refining his trade as cellar master for Ciacci, Andrea ventured out on his own with the formation of Uccelliera. His first vintage was 1991 with the production of a mere 500 bottles!

The wines have quickly become cult favorites amongst the cognoscenti. Tucked away in the southeast corner of the appellation in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, the soil here is loose and stony which when coupled with a warm microclimate gives the wines of Uccelliera a rich and ripe expression, vintage after vintage. Andrea Cortonesi is tireless in his approach to winemaking, with all vineyard work done exclusively by hand. In addition to Brunello, the Rosso di Montalcino is a very limited production and features an unusually powerful nose and ripe, rich fruit. Rounding out the lineup is the tiny-production Super Tuscan, “Rapace”, which is a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet and aged in barrique.
