Tasting Notes

Tasted blind. Lustrous mid ruby. Backward on the nose but really enticing. Slow to unfold and with a gorgeous tannic structure and well-balanced acidity. Irresistible, but deserves much more time. (WS)

The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino La Cerbaiola is a beautiful expression with delicate berry flavors that wrap over the palate with polished perfection. The house style at Salvioni prizes ethereal elegance in a manner that few others can achieve within the Brunello appellation. These wines present a new facet each time you return to contemplate the fluid and ever-changing bouquet. Spicy tar, clove and toasted nut appear as almost indistinguishable afterthoughts on the long-lasting finish.
