Uccelliera 2019 Brunello di Montalcino
Couldn't load pickup availability
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. Plus, the 2019 vintage has been rated "good-excellent", saw excessive heat, which is becoming a global issue among wine growers. But life-saving rains appeared in mid-summer and the vintage turned out better than initially feared.
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.
