2020 Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino

The 2020 Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino is a superb expression of 100% Sangiovese from one of Montalcino’s most highly regarded estates. Sourced from organically managed vineyards in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, the wine is matured for over two years in large Slavonian and French oak casks before extended bottle ageing. The outstanding 2020 vintage has produced a Brunello of remarkable purity, concentration and elegance, combining the power of southern Montalcino with exceptional freshness and finesse.

The nose reveals black cherry, ripe plum and wild raspberry aromas layered with cedar, balsamic herbs, liquorice and subtle spice. The palate is full-bodied and beautifully structured, with concentrated dark fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Notes of graphite, tobacco and savoury herbs unfold through a long, polished finish that is both powerful and remarkably refined.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A world-class Brunello that perfectly balances richness, elegance and ageing potential. Its depth and complexity make it an outstanding match for bistecca Fiorentina, slow-roasted lamb, wild boar ragù, porcini mushroom dishes and aged Pecorino. Enjoy from 2026 onwards with decanting, or cellar confidently through 2045+ as it develops extraordinary savoury complexity and finesse.
