Product Notes

The Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino is an exceptional Italian wine, distinguished by its appealing ruby red hue and rich aromatic nose. This wine exudes fragrances of ripe cherries, nuanced with undertones of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, it's a harmonious blend of fresh acidity and savoury earth tones, wrapped in a velvety texture. Aged predominantly in Slavonian oak barrels, it benefits from a restrained use of small French oak barrels to lend subtle complexity. This wine has ageing potential but can also be enjoyed in its youthful vivacity. A highly regarded choice from Tuscany for discerning wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

A sunny and beautifully pure, ripe wine, the 2021 Rosso Di Montalcino is expressive in its notes of boysenberry, black cherry, dark wet stone, and sweet herbs. Ripe but taut, with medium to full body, it offers crunchy black cherry, ripe and present tannins, snappy acidity, and a note of turned soil on the finish. It is a well-structured Rosso with the bones to stand up to hard cheeses and steaks
