Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Tuscany, Italy 2020

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 is a powerful yet beautifully polished Brunello from one of Montalcino’s most respected estates, known for combining richness and depth with remarkable elegance. Founded by Andrea Cortonesi, Uccelliera has become a benchmark producer for expressive, traditionally rooted Brunello with modern refinement. The outstanding 2020 vintage opens with layered aromas of black cherry, wild berry, violet, tobacco, leather, and warm Tuscan spice. The palate is rich and concentrated yet vibrant, balancing ripe Sangiovese fruit with savory earth, fine acidity, and velvety tannins that carry through a long, mineral-driven finish. Approachable earlier than some classic vintages yet built for graceful aging, this is a beautifully complete Brunello that captures the warmth, complexity, and timeless character of Montalcino.

"The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is a jeweled ruby/red color and has a very lovely, complete feel with aromas of cherry liqueur, raspberries, candied licorice, balsamic herbs, and sage. It's beautiful and saturated and floats on the long palate, with a medium to full frame, a supple, ripe feel, and lovely freshness. It has the ability to improve and drink well over the coming 20 years." Jeb Dunnuck 96
