The vineyards of the \u003cstrong\u003eUccelliera\u003c\/strong\u003e winery, managed according to the principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable agriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e, are situated at an altitude between one hundred and fifty and three hundred and fifty metres above sea level. The vines are trained using the spurred cordon and Guyot methods on \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e of medium texture. The presence of sand, marl and a \u003cstrong\u003erich stony skeleton\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the wine’s structure a solid base and excellent progression, reflecting the unique characteristics of its place of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with meticulous manual harvesting, followed by the swift delivery of the bunches to the winery. To preserve the integrity of the fruit, destemming is carried out with the aid of dry ice. The initial low temperatures favour the start of \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous alcoholic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e thanks to indigenous yeasts, with frequent pump-overs. After racking, the process continues with malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Finally, the wine acquires its elegant complexity through maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian and French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, completing the process with \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e for at least four months.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, the Rosso di Montalcino Uccelliera 2024 fully embodies Andrea Cortonesi’s vision. This \u003cstrong\u003epure Sangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e, from vineyards situated between 150 and 350 metres, is produced from hand-harvested grapes.

After malolactic fermentation in steel, maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian and French oak\u003c\/strong\u003e imparts a profound elegance to the wine, completed by a resting period of at least four months in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Uccelliera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46076929638571,"sku":"59971","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/uccelliera-rosso-di-montalcino-2024_59971_1_e64185c9-7998-4ce1-a8f9-8567ff903090.webp?v=1773807163","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-be\/products\/uccelliera-rosso-di-montalcino-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
