UCCELLIERA BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2021

Wild strawberry, dried violet, and black cherry arrive first, backed by licorice and a chalky mineral finish that lingers well past the last sip. That profile traces directly to Uccelliera's southeast Montalcino plots around Castelnuovo dell'Abate, where clay, sand, and iron-rich soils at 150–350 meters put tension into every vintage of Sangiovese. Andrea Cortonesi ferments with native yeasts in stainless steel over 25–30 days, then ages in French and Slavonian oak — a combination that keeps the fruit precise without over-oaking. Vineyards are farmed organically.
