Uccelliera’s rich, weighty 2004 Rosso di Montalcino bursts from the glass showing expressive aromatics and plenty of sweet ripe fruit with excellent length and balance, clearly benefitting from the addition of the run-off Brunello juice that was added during fermentation. It is an excellent introduction to the house style. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2009.
