Uccelliera 2019 Brunello di Montalcino

Winemaker Andrea Cortonesi purchased what eventually became the Uccelliera  estate in 1986. The land  was once part of neighboring Ciacci Piccolomini where, for years, refined  his trade as cellar master for Ciacci.  Eventually  Andrea ventured out on his own, and in 1991,  released to the world his first vintage of Uccelliera  Rosso di Montalcino...a mere 500 bottles!

Since then, the production has thrived and Andrea is known (to those in the know) as a winemaker who over delivers for the price.

Full-bodied with well integrated tannins, this wine pairs well with anything grilled, anything with a mushroom/truffle theme, and even pasta with red sauce or your favorite pizza.
