Uccelliera, Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, 2010
A legendary vintage from one of Brunello's most respected producers, sixteen years on. Andrea Cortonesi bought Uccelliera in 1986 from his employers and turned it into one of the benchmark estates of Castelnuovo dell'Abate, the warm southern corner of Montalcino where Brunello tends toward power and depth. His Riserva comes from a single hectare of Sangiovese planted in 1975, given extended aging in large Slavonian botti. The 2010 vintage is widely considered one of the greatest Brunello vintages of the modern era — a long, even growing season that produced wines of both power and finesse — and at sixteen years on the Riserva is just entering its window: dense, savory, structured, with decades of life ahead.
