The vines for the Brunello are planted in Galestro soils with clay and slate on a 3.5-hectare plot, with a total production of less than 15,000 bottles per vintage. Powerful, bright ruby colour, light garnet hue. Red liquorice, dried roses, a hint of cedar wood and black cherry make up the seductive bouquet. The fruit has a certain density and heaviness, which is emphasised by oak notes and the wine's tannins. On the palate, a silky texture with a sweet and sour expression of red berry fruit and minerals led by savoury acids, while grippy tannins build towards the end. Very full-bodied and gripping with great potential, but still needs some bottle ageing. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is earthy and savoury in the best possible way with an almost rustic blend of old cedar spice box and dried roses underscored by orange peel and bright cherries. This wine is wonderfully pure and silky, with an appropriate inner sweetness and an abundance of ripe red and blue fruit swirling throughout. The juicy acidity maintains a lovely energy as the 2019 finishes long. Fine-grained tannins saturate, and an aftertaste of tart cranberry lingers on the cheeks. This energetic and supple Brunello from Cerbaia will only need a short ageing period to show its best side." Vinous

"So floral and fresh with rose stem, sandalwood and orange blossom. Also cherries. Full-bodied yet restrained, with creamy, fine tannins and a lovely finish. Shows brightness and finesse. Silky texture. One of the best Brunellos I have ever tasted. A Brunello that emphasises the purity of the fruit. Give it another three to four years." James Suckling
