Cerbaia Brunello di Montalcino

So What?

"Cerbaia ia a boutique winery dedicated to producing wines from some of the finest vineyards in Montalcino. Its Brunello is the true expression of a unique and distinctive place. In 1978, inspired by his passion for viticulture, agronomist Fabio Pellegrini converted his family farm to vine. The Cerbaia estate, with its 12 hectars of land, 4,5 of which under the Brunello appellation, is nestled on a slope in the Montosoli hill, one of the most favourable terroirs for Sangiovese in Montalcino. In 2014, moved by the passion for wine and the love for her native land, Elena, Fabio’s daughter, gave up a promising career in corporate finance to devoting herself to her family estate. Her efforts are aimed to craft elegant, perfectly balanced wines of traditional style, with patience, tenacity and a singular focus on uncompromising
standards." - Consorzio Brunello di Montalcino

"So floral and fresh with rose stem, sandalwood and orange blossom. Cherries, too. Full-bodied yet reserved and held back with creamy fine tannins and a beautiful finish. Shows brightness and finesse. Silky texture. One of the best I have had from here. A Brunello that emphasizes purity of fruit. Give this three to four years more. Try after 2026. -" 98 points, James Suckling
