The Uccelliera 2014 Brunello di Montalcino exhibits the elegant and delicate side of this mighty Tuscan appellation. This vintage is characterized by mid-weight wines that are thinner in structure and less impactful in terms of overall intensity. However, there is a good argument to make that this softer approach is especially well-suited to a wine like Brunello that is never shy in terms of power. The vintage conditions in 2014 hold the wine back just a tad, and that restraint is welcome. From one of my absolute favorite Brunello producers, this wine is elegant and fine with bright fruit tones followed by sour cherry, licorice and dried rose bud. Some 11,300 bottles were made.

Fading cherry, eucalyptus, iron and soy flavors are proportionate with the slim frame. Firm tannins line the finish. Drink now through 2027. 920 cases made, 450 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
