Winery Azienda Agricola Uccelliera

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 Historical documents mention the locality as early as the late Middle Ages; the current estate originated with the restoration of the property carried out by Andrea Cortonesi, who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.

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.

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.
