Voliero’s Sangiovese grows in fossil-rich sandy clay at 350 to 430 meters, on estate vineyards farmed along organic lines from vines 10 to 30 years old. The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is 100% Sangiovese, made by winemaker Andrea Cortonesi, who is also behind Uccelliera. Fermentation and maceration ran 20 to 25 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel. The wine then spent 30 months in large Slavonian and French oak casks of 20 to 50 hectoliters before bottling. Production in 2021 came to roughly 750 cases. Bistecca, grilled porcini and a wedge of aged pecorino are its natural partners.

Critic Reviews
Jancis Robinson
17/20 Points
17 Points, Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com: "Maturing mid ruby with orange tinges. Herbal notes and dark, dried tobacco leaf over sour cherry on the nose and with a hint of cinnamon. Cumin hints over cherry fruit on the palate with beautiful coating tannins. A little rustic, definitely genuine and with age this will improve. (WS) (Drink between 2028-2038)" 10/25

96 Points
96 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is youthfully intense, slowly evolving with nuances of crushed rocks, menthol and citrus-infused blackberries. It is harmonious throughout, with silken textures and a lifted feel. A wave of ripe red and black fruits swirls across the senses, energized by brisk acidity. Crunchy mineral tones add depth toward the close, coupled with a minty freshness as the 2021 finishes staining and full of youthful tension. It is compact and complex today, with a very bright future. This reminds me of a perfect marriage between the 2016 and 2019 vintages. (Drink between 2028-2046)" 11/25
