Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino 2020 (V 91)

Vinous 91 points.

Luminous dark red. Lively aromas of redcurrant, red licorice, and mint, plus complicating nuances of balsamic oils and violet. Juicy, spicy flavors of red berries and cherries are very deep and pure. In a cooler, low-fat style than usual for this wine, with harmonious acidity nicely extending the flavors on the long juicy, and perfumed back end. A declassified Brunello, this is a really outstanding Rosso di Montalcino.


Masses of crushed raspberry, peppery florals, and smoky mineral-earth tones create a bouquet that is impossible to ignore as the Rosso di Montalcino opens in the glass. This is a pure and vibrant yet silky effort that contrasts ripe berries with hints of sour citrus and savory spice. While packed full of zesty energy, it finishes classically dry and persistent, leaving notes of roses and cloves to linger.
