Andrea Cortonesi reflects the best of the artisan spirit in Montalcino. The Uccelliera wines are rich, layered and beautifully textured. Cortonesi vinifies his plots in three major subdivisions, corresponding to the altitude of the vineyards on the slope. Partial aging in French oak gives these Brunellos from the southern Castelnuovo dell'Abate district, additional warmth and richness. Readers who want to check out the Uccelliera wines might want to start with the Rosso, or the Rapace, which is sublime in 2010, a great vintage for Montalcino.
