Tasting notes
The sure bet from Cerbaiona is the 1999 Rosso, a blend of 60% Sangiovese and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. It offers a dense ruby/purple color in addition to sweet, complex aromas of fruitcake, cedar, espresso, black currants, cherries, and leather. Ripe, with superb purity, medium to full body, admirable structure, and unobtrusive but noticeable tannin, it should drink well for 10-12 years. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel.

About the producer

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.
