Subject: 🍇Voliero: The High Flying Cousin of Uccelliera!🍷

It is said that Andrea Cortonesi has only himself as competition in Montalcino. Voliero are the wines made by the famous winemaker of Uccelliera for his trattoria in Siena. These grapes are grown on the north side of Montalcino and allow Cortonesi to show the more elegant side of Brunello di Montalcino with no loss of complexity, structure, or depth. Here Cortonesi crafts an undeniably classic and refined portrait of Sangiovese in Montalcino.
2017 Voliero Brunello di Montalcino 
$420 6pack

94 Points - Vinous

“The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is cool-toned and remarkably pretty, scents of fresh wild herbs and peppery florals giving way to crushed woodland berries and a contrasting flourish of blood orange. Its textures are like pure silk, energized by zesty acidity and becoming quite spicy over time, as tart cherry-berry flavors and saline-minerals saturate deeply. Grippy tannins come forward through the licorice-tinged finale as this tapers off slightly structured, almost salty and remarkably fresh. The 2017 possesses all of the traits of a classic Voliero Brunello.”
