Reviewed January 2025The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is a jeweled ruby/red color and has a very lovely, complete feel with aromas of cherry liqueur, raspberries, candied licorice, balsamic herbs, and sage. It's beautiful and saturated and floats on the long palate, with a medium to full frame, a supple, ripe feel, and lovely freshness. It has the ability to improve and drink well over the coming 20 years. (AF)

Aromas of fragrant purple flower mingle with spiced plum and Mediterranean scrub on the bold 2020 Uccelliera Brunello. It’s enveloping and delicious, doling out raspberry jam, fleshy Marasca cherry, licorice and grilled sage accompanied by velvety tannins. A hint of spiced orange zest brightens the finish. (KO)

Vinous
The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is spellbinding. Youthfully coy, it features a minty freshness and wild herbal thrust, giving way to bright cherry-berry fruit complicated by hints of worn leather. This is energetic and spry, yet elegant to the core, with crisp wild berries and a cascade of sweet spice elevated by zesty acidity. Tannic and potent yet still fresh, the 2020 lingers with a resonance of tart cranberry and sour citrus that leaves the cheeks puckered and the palate thirsting for more. This is a wild vintage of Uccelliera's Brunello di Montalcino. It's structured for the long haul yet already such a pleasure to taste. (EG) 95+

A compressed and fresh 2020 Brunello with red-cherry, plum and peach character. Medium body, fine tannins and a tangy finish. Give this two or three years to open and soften, but it’s already crunchy and fresh. Delicious in fact. Best after 2026.
Notes
A benchmark release from one of Montalcino’s most respected estates, the 2020 Uccelliera Brunello is a powerful yet refined expression of southern Sangiovese. Sourced from vines near Castelnuovo dell’Abate, the wine ferments in stainless steel before aging in a combination of large Slavonian and French oak for over two years. The result is a layered Brunello bursting with ripe cherry, plum, and dried rose, framed by iron-rich earth, spice box, and tobacco. The tannins are firm but polished, giving this vintage a classic structure and excellent aging potential. Drink 2026–2040.
