DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Uccelliera is a small estate in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, in the warm southern part of the Montalcino zone. Production is tiny, about 2,500 cases a year, and the vineyards sit between 150 and 350 meters above sea level.
This is 100% Sangiovese, aged 24 months in a mix of French and Slavonian oak. The warmer southern site usually gives Brunello more ripeness and body. Expect cherry and dark fruit, with earth, dried herbs and the firm, savory tannins Brunello is known for.
Open it an hour ahead and serve around 62-64F in a large glass. It needs food: bistecca, wild boar, roast lamb or aged pecorino. It will drink well now with air and keep improving for years. A good small-producer Brunello for collectors.
Bottle size: 750ml
