Located near Castelnuovo dell’Abate in the southern sector of Montalcino, Uccelliera is a small estate founded by Andrea Cortonesi and known for traditional Brunello with depth and elegance. The Brunello di Montalcino is produced entirely from Sangiovese grown on galestro and clay soils influenced by the warmer microclimate of the area. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel followed by extended ageing in large oak casks before further bottle maturation. The balanced 2019 vintage delivered both concentration and freshness. Compared with Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello shows far greater structure and ageing potential, combining dark cherry, dried herbs and subtle spice with firm tannins and long mineral finish typical of classic Montalcino Sangiovese https://www.uccelliera-montalcino.it
