This excellent wine comes from the region of Montalcino, which is famous for its high powered and high priced Brunello di Montalcinos. This Rosso from Uccilliera is a fantastic wine that will give many Brunellos a run for their money.
In your glass the wine has a beatiful medium red color. The bouquet is full of rasberry and plum with just a hint of cinnamon. The wine has a medium-full body with a very pleasant acidity and soft tannins. Flavors of red cherry, sour cherry and plum are abundant. This had incredible fruit flavor for a Sangiovese and a smooth, lasting finish.
Overall, the Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino 2007 is an outstanding wine. It outperforms many Brunellos which are 2 to 3 times the price. It definitely delivers a great value for its $25 price tag. Highly recommended!
Pair with pasta and marinara sauce, Parmigiano Reggiano, cured Italian meats, or veal.

I also think the 07 Uccelliera is delicious...did you get to try the 2006? SO GOOD!!!! Pick up a Fossacolle 2007 Rosso di Montalcino some time, its the best 2007 Rosso I have tasted. And if you find any 2004 Uccelliera Brunello I'll split a bottle with you, its supposed to be amazing!
