TASTING NOTES
93pts - Vinous
"Darkly alluring, the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino slowly comes to life with a beguiling blend of mentholated herbs, pine shavings and dried strawberries. This sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk, soothing all that it touches with ripe red fruits and rosy inner florals guided by vibrant acidity. It finishes structured, potent and long, punching well above its weight class, as licorice mingles with savory spices through the youthfully tense finale. This is next-level Rosso di Montalcino. In a word, spellbinding."

"Notes of fresh cherries and raspberries with spices, dried herbs and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, crunchy and fresh with dusty tannins and pure, vivid fruit. Chalky finish. Drink now."

"A sunny and beautifully pure, ripe wine, the 2021 Rosso Di Montalcino is expressive in its notes of boysenberry, black cherry, dark wet stone, and sweet herbs. Ripe but taut, with medium to full body, it offers crunchy black cherry, ripe and present tannins, snappy acidity, and a note of turned soil on the finish. It is a well-structured Rosso with the bones to stand up to hard cheeses and steaks."
91pts - Wine Advocate
"The Uccelliera 2021 Rosso di Montalcino shows floral aromas of dried rose, lavender and potpourri. There is fruit in the background with dried currant or cranberry, but it is not exactly center stage. Those floral notes are the protagonists along with autumnal leaf and balsam herb. This wine has the classic bouquet of a Rosso, but the wine's structure and tannic level is more impactful than most."
