Salvioni La Cerbaiola Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Salvioni La Cerbaiola Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is a beautifully composed expression of Sangiovese Grosso from one of Montalcino’s most respected estates. Revered for its precision, depth, and unmistakable sense of place, it reflects the long-standing reputation of La Cerbaiola as a benchmark producer of Brunello.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a clear ruby core with garnet reflections, hinting at both freshness and seriousness. The bouquet is classic and layered, with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, violet, dried herbs, tobacco, and a subtle earthy minerality. On the palate, it is structured yet poised, offering vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a long, savory finish. The 2020 vintage should combine early charm with notable aging potential, rewarding cellaring with added complexity over the coming years.

Production
The vineyards of La Cerbaiola sit in one of the prized zones of Montalcino, where altitude, exposure, and well-draining soils help Sangiovese Grosso retain freshness and aromatic lift. Fruit is carefully harvested by hand to preserve quality and ensure only the best grapes enter the cellar. Vinification is traditionally focused, with an emphasis on expressing purity, structure, and the character of the vintage, followed by maturation in large oak casks.

Food & Serving
Serve this Brunello at around 16–18°C and consider decanting it for at least 1–2 hours, especially in its youth, to allow the aromatics and tannins to open fully. It pairs wonderfully with roast lamb, beef braised in red wine, game, porcini risotto, aged Pecorino, and rich Tuscan cuisine.
