"The Uccelliera 2017 Brunello di Montalcino does a great job showcasing that extra power and brawn of the vintage and the richer textural structure of the southern side of the appellation. The bouquet is up front and beautifully measured with lots of red and purple fruit definition followed by spice, tar and earthiness. What sets this wine apart in this hot and dry vintage is the mouthfeel. It delivers fiber, flesh and soft tannins. The alcohol is a bit much at 15% in this production of 28,666 bottles." —Wine Advocate

"Balsam herbs, cocoa and sweet white smoke give way to crushed black cherry and plum as the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. This is elegance personified, silky, deep and round, yet delivering a core of saline-minerality that creates a savory sensation – umami, in a way – with masses of ripe red fruits and confectionary spices to contrast. The tannins are sweet and round, presenting a chiseled structure; yet it’s not forceful. This tapers off with a tart twang of sour wild berries under an air of lavender and violets. Wow; there is so much concentration and depth here, but also balance. In fact, there’s hardly a sign of this being from a difficult vintage. While I expect it will have a shorter life than an Uccelliera Brunello from a classic year, the 2017 should not be missed." —Vinous

"A solid 2017, but there’s tangy freshness to this, and relatively fine tannins that frame the wine nicely. Plenty of ripe fruit. Some fresh mushroom, too. Drink after 2023." —James Suckling

"The wine has refreshing acidity and a touch of sweetness from the ripe fruit. You may smell the scents of pear, green apples and citrus. In the mouth, the light effervescence provides a vibrant, racy texture." —winemaker

"Amber, golden tawny color. An excellent bouquet, with a characteristic 'nutty' character, such as almonds, and delicious mature fruit with hints of orange peel. Rich, sweet and smooth on the palate, it is perfectly balanced, with a long and lingering finish. Graham's 20-Year-Old Tawny Port pairs extremely well with vanilla ice cream or crème brûlée. Serve slightly chilled to appreciate the full complexity and sensuous pleasure of this wine." —winemaker

"This Montepulciano is a deep ruby red colour, limpid and rich; intense scents of forest fruits: cherry and berries; medium-bodied, with its tannic component harmoniously integrated. On the palate it shows clear class with a perfect integration of tannins and fruit." —winemaker

"Intense purple color. Complex aromas of black fruit with toasted notes and hints of mocha. Good balance on the palate thanks to its full-body and its sweetness. Elegant and soft tannins in the finish. In Entre Deux Mers area, has been run by the same family for 3 generations. Today, it is managed to respect the vineyards as well as the wines by preferring low-yielded grapes to improve their qualities. To cultivate their lands with methods that protect the environment and enhance natural competition amongst the vines." —winemaker
