98pts Wine Spectator
Ripe, expressive and harmonious, this majestic red has blackberry, black currant, eucalyptus, menthol, wild rosemary and mineral flavors framed by vanilla and toasty oak. Gains support from firm tannins, yet the lasting impression is sweet fruit, so be patient. Sangiovese. Best from 2025 through 2047.
Winemaker Notes
100% Sangiovese de-classified from seven hectares of Brunello vineyards planted in 1988/1998/2000 in Castelnuovo dell’Abate southeast of Montalcino.
Winery Notes
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!
