UCCELLIERA BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2019

A small Montalcino estate with just over a dozen hectares under vine, Uccelliera consistently ranks among the appellation's most focused producers. Their 2019 Brunello draws from Sangiovese Grosso grown on the galestro and clay soils southeast of Montalcino, where the terrain brings both heat retention and good drainage. Aged in traditional Slavonian oak botte, the wine delivers dried cherry, pomegranate, and a dried herb undercurrent, with chalky tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish that rewards patience in the cellar.
