Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2021 Silineo shows a vibrant ruby-red core with garnet reflections at the rim, signaling both youth and structure. The nose opens with ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and plum, followed by layers of dried herbs, violets, and subtle notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and sweet spice. On the palate, this is medium to full-bodied with a lively Tuscan acidity that keeps the wine fresh and food-friendly. Juicy red and black cherry flavors are framed by fine-grained tannins, with hints of leather, dried Mediterranean herbs, and a touch of balsamic complexity emerging on the mid-palate. The finish is long and savory, with lingering notes of spice and red fruit. Enjoyable now with a short decant, the 2021 vintage has the structure to evolve gracefully for 8–12 years under good cellaring conditions.

Production
Sourced from estate vineyards around Montepulciano in southern Tuscany, the Silineo benefits from a mix of clay, limestone, and sandy soils at moderate altitudes, which help preserve aromatic freshness and finesse in the Sangiovese (locally known as Prugnolo Gentile). Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure careful selection of bunches at optimal ripeness. In the cellar, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve purity of fruit and regional character, followed by aging in a combination of traditional large casks and/or smaller oak barrels to develop structure and complexity without overwhelming the wine’s elegant profile.

Food & Serving
Fattoria del Cerro Nobile di Montepulciano Silineo 2021 is an excellent partner for classic Tuscan dishes such as pappardelle al ragù, bistecca alla Fiorentina, roast lamb, or braised pork. It also pairs beautifully with aged pecorino, mushroom risotto, and herb-roasted chicken. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) for optimal expression of aroma and structure. A 30–60 minute decant is recommended in its youth to soften the tannins and allow the wine’s floral and savory nuances to unfold.
