Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Good medium red. Aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, currant, plum and sweet, cedary oak. Silky, juicy and firm, with cool, vibrant, Chambolle-like flavors of tangy red fruits and spices. Very elegantly styled, sharply delineated Brunello with a compelling but restrained sweetness. Finishes with suave, fine tannins and lovely persistence. Got better and better with aeration.

About the producer

Cerbaiona
A cult address for many Italian fine wine lovers, Cerbaiona is one of Montalcino’s top estates. The site has long been identified as special, but it was Diego Molinari who established its reputation. Today, Matthew Fioretti is at the helm, bringing the estate into the modern era.
