Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 (Tuscany, Italy) - [JD 96] [WA 95] [VM 95] [KO 95] [WS 94]

About this Wine:Uccelliera is without any doubt one of the top estates of Montalcino, producing Brunello and Rosso that are complex, intense, extremely supple and drinkable. The Uccelliera estate was at once part of neighboring Ciacci Piccolomini until 1986, when winemaker Andrea Cortonesi purchased it from his friends and former employers; his first vintage was 1991. To produce Brunello and Rosso by blending vineyards with different exposures and soils is a specific choice so that the character of each vintage and of the terroir can be expressed following a "minimum handling" philosophy. The wines have quickly become cult favorites amongst the cognoscenti.  Tasting Notes:Elegant and well balanced, powerful, but clean and smooth and a dynamic rising finale. Food Pairing:Roast and stewed red meats, game, aged cheeses. Ratings & Reviews 96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:“A ripe red color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is expressive of its place, with warming notes of licorice, black cherries
