Description
96 Points, WinesCritic.com "Fresh and vibrant on the nose, it shows notes of cherries, currants, raspberries, tangerine peel and pink grapefruit. Medium-full body, decidedly elegant and refined tannins and a finish of great personality that enlivens the graceful and performing sip. Best since 2026." - Raffaele Vecchione
95 Points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate "The Uccelliera 2019 Brunello di Montalcino offers ripe fruit, a note of cooked blackberry and pomegranate juice. Along with oak spice and dried bay leaf, there is a spot of creaminess on the mid-palate that recalls cheese rind or aged chèvre with a crust of black pepper and thyme. That note blows off, however, and the wine returns to dried cherry with a medicinal or herbal twist. There's a lot going on. The wine needs more time in bottle to address the fine, chalky tannins. It is elegant now but poised to improve. Production is 36,000 bottles plus larger formats."
