Austere, tight and sophisticated, this well-extracted Brunello shows dry aromas of crushed granite along with ethereal tones of dried ginger, black licorice and root beer. Inky appearance with chewy richness. The mouthfeel is round, chewy and packed with sweet fruit and spice. Drink after 2015.

Uccelliera 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
This is among our favorite 2004 Brunellos. Winemaker Andrea Cortonesi who once said, “the best irrigation is sweat,” has worked hard to craft this plush, modern and penetrating wine. It boasts a deep, dark concentration and a very beautiful bouquet of luscious blackberries, spice, black mineral and cola. It’s round and supple and shines simpatico.

Uccelliera 1999 Riserva Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Editors' Choice
- $90
Wonderfully toasted up front, with baked, but not cooked, fruit aromas. There’s also plenty of coffee, earth and leather to the bouquet. Initial live-wire flavors settle to reveal marzipan and dried stone fruits, while the sly finish is so complex that the wine ultimately registers as a different breed. Drinking this is like navigating a maze. A Marc de Grazia…

Uccelliera 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Brawny and bold with impeccable depth and balance. Dark fudge, forest berry and coffee take center stage with menthol coolness, caramel and marzipan from the chorus line. A deeply satisfying and plush wine with solid tannins and chewy concentration that is both mysterious and inviting. A Marc de Grazia selection, various U.S. importers.

Uccelliera 2004 Rapace Red (Toscana)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
Andrea Cortonesi’s Rapace blends Sangiovese with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. There’s a lot of action in the nose with layers of sugar beet, chopped herbs, coffee-vanilla, cola, medicinal qualities and cherry preserves. It wins high marks for its mouthfeel, too, which is well structured.
