Cerbaiona Description
While much is written about the difference between northern and southern Montalcino wines, Cerbaiona lies in an intermediate zone. Consequently, the vineyard yields beautiful fruit which balances the south's ripeness with the freshness and structure of the north. Diego's careful, organic husbandry of his vineyard, his short-pruning for low yields, and his courage to let the wine express Montalcino's evocative character without cosmetics are integral to the greatness of his iconic Brunello.
James Suckling: 98 Points
So floral and fresh with rose stem, sandalwood and orange blossom. Cherries, too. Full-bodied yet reserved and held back with creamy fine tannins and a beautiful finish. Shows brightness and finesse. Silky texture. One of the best I have had from here. A Brunello that emphasizes purity of fruit. Give this three to four years more.
