I am always such a big fan of Andrea Cortonesi's work. Like his previous releases, the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino shows an uncanny sense of continuity and consistency with past releases. This steady stylistic focus is one of the best reasons to buy Uccelliera Brunello. The wine is dark and rich in appearance...explosive flavor profile... Blackberry and dark fruit segues to spice, tobacco and balsam herb. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Old world charm… dusty, organic nose with highlights of mushroom, clay, hazelnut, and blackcherry. Non-fruit dominates the nose. A kiss of VA is there too. Lively mouthfeel carried by the acidity. Tannins and warmth of the vintage emerge on the finish but stay balanced. Cherry pie, baking spice, orange zest, and a little vanilla bean. Great length. A favorite winery of mine in Tuscany which seems to always deliver.
