The result of a meticulous selection of Sangiovese grapes, this wine is known for its vibrancy and depth of character.
Color: It presents an intense ruby red color, with slight purplish highlights that underline its youth and freshness.
Nose: The nose reveals a symphony of fruity aromas, predominantly cherry and strawberry, enhanced by spicy notes of black pepper and an elegant touch of wet earth and underbrush, typical of the Montalcino terroir.
Palate: On the palate, the Rosso di Montalcino DOC from Uccelliera is rich and well-structured. The tannic texture is palpable but well-balanced, with an acidity that brings freshness and liveliness. The aromatic persistence is notable, with a return of red fruits and a slight hint of vanilla and dark chocolate in the finish.
Maturation: Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and authenticity of the fruit, followed by a period of aging in oak barrels that contributes to adjusting its tannic qualities and to developing aromatic complexity.
A wine of great versatility, the Rosso di Montalcino DOC from Uccelliera is perfect to enjoy young, accompanying dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, grilled red meats, aged cheeses, and cured meats. Its elegance and robustness also make it suitable for medium to long aging, which allows for the discovery of further evolutionary nuances.

Winery history
Uccelliera is the name of an ancient estate on the slope of Castelnuovo dell'Abate, near the Abbey of Sant'Antimo. Historical documents mention the locality as early as the late Middle Ages; the current estate originated with the restoration of the property carried out by Andrea Cortonesi, who purchased and renovated it in the 1980s.
Production philosophy
An approach centered on care for the land and attentive winemaking: the winery prioritizes respect for the soil, cultivation practices that are respectful of the land, and winemaking that seeks the pure expression of Sangiovese and the other grape varieties used, with refined cellar practices and extended ageing in wood for the more structured wines.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located in the southeastern part of the Montalcino appellation, around Castelnuovo dell’Abate, on calcareous-clayey soils with pockets of sand and marl. The vines are planted at elevations of approximately 150 to 350 meters above sea level, in a microclimate considered well-suited to quality viticulture.
