Brunello di Montalcino by Uccelliera is the oenological jewel of the house. Produced in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, starting with a selection of Sangiovese grapes, it is then refined for a long period in wood with a different capacity and toasting. On the nose it is ample, with aromas of dried flowers, undergrowth, dried fruit, on the palate it is fine and balanced, with a smooth tannin and a long palatal persistence
- BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO UCCELLIERA 2019 DESCRIPTION
- The Brunello di Montalcino made by Uccelliera is a true champion of the entire denomination. Compliments are in abundance for this Tuscan red, an example of how Sangiovese can reach truly remarkable qualitative heights in this region. Structure and elegance go hand in hand on the palate, while the nose is struck by a whirlwind of intense aromas, capable of touching different chords with notes that are always balanced. To be savored with the right awareness, until the last drop.
- Brunello di Montalcino originates from pure Sangiovese grapes, grown by the Uccelliera winery in the vineyards located in the hamlet south
- east of Montalcino, Castelnuovo dell'Abate. We are at an altitude of between 150 and 350 meters above sea level, in a terroir with a sandy and silty texture, with a predominance of skeleton. The must obtained from pressing the grapes ferments spontaneously in steel tanks, thanks to the use of native yeasts; the subsequent refinement lasts at least 24 months and takes place in both French and Slavonian oak barrels.
- This Brunello di Montalcino reveals itself to the eye with a typically ruby color, crossed by flashes and more garnet reflections in the nail. The fruit in alcohol alternates on the nose with almost magical scents of dried flowers and floral nuances, which move on an olfactory background that recalls wet earth. On the palate it is broad, round and enveloping thanks to a finely polished tannin, which enhances a sip of excellent persistence. An award
- winning label – it achieves top scores in the Slowine and Bibenda guides, as well as obtaining high scores from real wine gurus such as Robert Parker – to add to your wish list: if you love great Tuscan reds, this is the wine for you.
