The 2019 Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a commanding and deeply expressive wine, showing the hallmark richness and depth for which this estate is known, yet shaped by the classic refinement of the 2019 vintage. Following a long, balanced growing season with ideal harvest conditions, the fruit for this Riserva was hand-harvested at peak ripeness and vinified traditionally. The wine was aged for over 40 months in a mix of large Slavonian oak casks and French tonneaux, followed by extended bottle aging before release. The nose opens with a brooding yet lifted bouquet of black cherry, dark plum, violet, iron, wild sage, leather, and tobacco, with a background of warm spices and crushed stone.

Uccelliera, founded in 1986 by former vineyard manager Andrea Cortonesi, has become one of the most respected and dynamic estates in Montalcino. Situated in the southeastern sector of the appellation near Castelnuovo dell’Abate, Uccelliera benefits from warm days, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils—ideal conditions for producing structured, aromatic, and age-worthy Sangiovese Grosso. The estate practices sustainable viticulture with meticulous vineyard management and low yields, ensuring concentration and balance. In the cellar, Cortonesi favors long macerations, native fermentations, and a nuanced aging regimen in a combination of large Slavonian oak and French tonneaux. Uccelliera’s Brunelli consistently walk the line between power and elegance, with the Riserva bottling made only in outstanding vintages from the estate’s oldest and best-exposed vines.
