Product Notes

The Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino is an exquisite Italian red wine hailing from the picturesque Tuscan region. It boasts a tantalising ruby red hue and indulges the senses with robust, intricate flavours of cherries and ripe plums, coupled with lingering hints of tobacco and spice. Aged in oak barrels, this full-bodied wine exudes richness and complexity. It has a firm structure and fine, velvety tannins that culminate in a lengthy, satisfying finish. Heralded for its elegance and depth, Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino wine is a perfect companion for hearty meals and special occasions.

Tasting Notes

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino opens nicely in the glass, drawing upon more intensity and depth as it does. It shows firm lines and a fleshed-out mouthfeel that encourages plenty of layering and textural richness. That velvety quality is the enduring signature of this estate, one that has achieved consistent results over the years. The only outlier to this pretty portrait is a 15% alcohol content that, although well absorbed by the wine's texture, does risk becoming a distraction. JS93
