2019 Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino Tuscany

Winemaker Notes: Bright ruby red. The nose is fresh, fruity, cherry and red fruit, with a tannic note in the finish. The palate is dry, supple, quite tannic, well-balanced, medium body, with good persistence. Pairs well with pasta and rice dishes, pies, vegetable dishes, red and white meat dishes.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino is drop-dead gorgeous, slowly unfolding in the glass; at first smokey and herbal, yet gaining depths of dark red fruits and sweet spice over time. It’s silky-smooth in texture, contrasted by savory wild berry, plum and zesty acids, with purple tinged inner florals amassing toward the close. Licorice and hints of black currant linger, along with a coating of round tannins, making for a lightly structured yet still highly enjoyable finale."


Jeb Dunnuck - "The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino is aromatic of cherry lozenge, licorice, and violets. The palate is pure and approachable, with ripe black raspberry, dried strawberry, and sweet herbs. The 2019 is sunny and fresh, with a softer, more rounded feel than the 2018 and great for early drinking. 2021-2025."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Wild roses, cassis and lavender open the bouquet of the 2019 Rosso di Montalcino. Uccelliera offers a terrific Rosso in this vintage with slightly more concentration and volume compared to previous editions. This wine has a pretty floral component that underlines the delicate, elegant and streamlined personality of this classic Rosso. Production is 26,500 bottles and, interestingly, 350 magnums. Best after 2022."
