Andrea Cortonesi of Uccelliera shows a real talent when it comes to highlighting vintage variation in his wines. His 2015 Brunello di Montalcino captures the exuberance and the ebullience of the sunny and warm growing season. However, the wine remains orderly, precise and very elegant nonetheless, with a pretty succession of aromas that play cautiously forward, building in intensity along the way. Dried currant and cherry cede to moist earth, rose petal and balsam herb. The wines medium weight body is supported by fresh acidity and well‐managed tannins (with 36 months of oak aging). All of these moving pieces work in harmony.
96 Vinous
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino opens with an alluring bouquet that showcases dark red fruits, sweet florals, dusty earth and a hint of animal musk. On the palate, I find a soft, enveloping expression, displaying ripe red and black fruits, which seem to hover on the senses, as a mix of spices, saline-minerals and zesty acids saturate the senses. The finish is long, spicy, yet also wonderfully fresh, with hints of fine tannin gently tugging at the senses. The 2015 Uccelliera Brunello is already so easy to like, making good use of the sunny nature of the vintage, yet with all the raw ingredients for medium-term cellaring. Tasted twice with consistent results.
95 James Suckling
Plenty of earth, tar, spices, dried cherries and red plums here. The tannins have a firm but generous quality to them, providing an abundance of structure to the fullbodied palate. I love the juxtaposition between ripe fruit and tightly webbed texture.
95 Wine Spectator
Savory notes of loamy earth, wild herbs, woodsy underbrush and salt augment the cherry and strawberry fruit in this firmly structured red. Balanced and juicy, with terrific complexity and length. Best from 2022 through 2040. 2,322 cases made, 300 cases imported.
