Uccelliera is a small to medium sized winery which was started by Andrea Cortonesi in 1986. It began with a half hectare of vineyard, but has slowly expanded to 6.3 hectares, and produces 50,000 bottles/year. He makes his wines from several vineyards with different exposures to achieve a very complex wine. Amy and I were fortunate enough to get in on a tour which was very informative and even involved barrel tasting. We were able to meet the owner, Andrea who was friendly and outgoing. His wines are excellent as we were well aware, having purchased them on multiple occasions in the past.
