The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino from Uccelliera is a vibrant and expressive wine that captures the balance and energy of a classically styled vintage. The bouquet opens with notes of ripe cherry, red plum, rose petal, sweet spice, and a touch of cedar, supported by subtle hints of herbs and warm earth. On the palate, the wine is lively and supple, offering juicy red fruit framed by bright acidity and fine, polished tannins that give the wine both charm and structure. Layers of savory herbs, mineral nuances, and a gentle balsamic lift unfold through a long, graceful finish. Accessible yet refined, the 2019 Rosso showcases Uccelliera’s signature combination of warmth, purity, and craftsmanship—delivering immediate pleasure while hinting at the estate’s deeper Brunello pedigree.

Uccelliera is one of the standout estates in southeastern Montalcino, known for producing wines of depth, warmth, and exceptional clarity. Founded by Andrea Cortonesi in the late 1980s, the property lies near Castelnuovo dell’Abate, an area marked by clay-limestone soils, significant elevation shifts, and a microclimate influenced by maritime breezes. These conditions yield Sangiovese with both richness and aromatic precision. Cortonesi’s approach combines attentive vineyard work, low yields, and a balanced use of oak—favoring structure and purity over excess. The estate’s wines, from Rosso to Brunello, reflect an artisanal philosophy rooted in integrity, terroir expression, and a consistent thread of generosity and finesse. Today, Uccelliera stands as a reference point for soulful, beautifully crafted wines from Montalcino’s southeastern corridor.
