Andrea Cortonesi's Uccelliera sits in the southeast corner of Montalcino where loose, stony soils and warmth give the wine a rich, ripe expression. The 2021 Brunello is structured and demanding, built to age. It represents the full power of Sangiovese when you give it room to breathe—a wine for serious cellaring. Arriving April 2026.

Like many of the best winemakers, Andrea Cortonesi does not follow a formula or make wines for a particular style or camp. He’s been working in the vineyards of Montalcino for over 30 years and his focus is on capturing the elegance and beauty of this famous terroir. You could say that he’s an innovative traditionalist, or that he is more polished than rustic. But mostly he just makes delicious wines from Sangiovese.

Andrea’s first label (he also produces Voliero at the same estate), Uccelliera has a very passionate and devoted following among Italian wine lovers. They're powerful, explosive wines that always carry a sense of elegance and freshness. This is a top Brunello estate that consistently garners high praise and ratings, yet their wines remain very well-priced.

Six hectares of organically farmed Sangiovese, two of which are situated right next door to the famed Piccolomini 'Pianrosso' vineyard, are devoted to Brunello. Fermentation with spontaneous yeasts takes place in steel tanks over 20-25 days before being moved to large French and Slovenian botti to rest for at least 24 months before bottling. The Riserva sees an additional 12 to 18 months of barrel aging and 18 months in the bottle.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"Minty herbs mix with shavings of pine, dried strawberries and dusty earth as the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. It displays exceptional finesse and grace, with silken waves of ripe red and blue fruits elevated by fresh acidity. Inner rose tones and a tactile mineral crunch add form toward the close. The 2021 leaves a pleasantly chewy sensation and a tart blackberry twang, tapering off with excellent length and a totally classic feel." -Eric Guido

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The Uccelliera 2021 Brunello di Montalcino, produced in 34,733 bottles plus 900 magnums, shows a deep core of dark fruit and black cherry while remaining gracefully vertical and bright. Notes of spice, forest floor and sweet earth weave through the fruit, creating balance and a steady sense of richness that carries seamlessly across the palate. Grapes are harvested with the use of dry ice and fermented in stainless steel on indigenous yeasts, followed by 36 months of aging in oak vessels of varying sizes. All of this locks in aromas. The fruit comes from Castelnuovo dell’Abate at elevations ranging from 150 to 350 meters on mineral-rich, rocky soils, and this bottling once again underscores Andrea Cortonesi’s ability to translate terroir with precision and consistency." -Monica Larner
