Uccelliera Rosso Di Montalcino 2012, Doc
Tuscany, Italy$31.95
(2) 2019+2021
2019?.....must have gifted one? some recollection of doing so.
January 2021.....obviously a quality wine but my bottle was past its prime in my opinion. Colour a very garnet red. Bottle remained upside down in cellar the entire time and sediment blocked flow initially. Not sure if storage caused any negative impact. That said, it got better with aeration but still lacked a zest I'm sure it held in its earlier life. Regret not having had sooner, feel like this was a winner of a wine.

As I recall, really enjoyable, as always, not quite sure when we drank it but I suspect in the range of 2014-15. Would buy again.

2022 + 2023/4 + gift (a good one for Smitty to try)
February 2022....birthday gift to George (memories of our trip to SA)
April 2022...loved this one! Was concerned I bought too many, in fact I may have bought too few. A wine I think anyone would enjoy. Flavourful, smooth, food friendly & delicious. Med-Full body. Has a Mediterranean feel. Look forward to next one.

2023+2024+2025/6 + 3 as gifts
Sept 2022....Smitty's cottage, first wine served with Mushroom rissoto at Wendy's. Was nice but had small edges, not as smooth as I believe the 2014 was. Perhaps another year in the bottle or some aeration.
