Tasting notes
I absolutely love what the Salvioni family has created in this vintage. The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino La Cerbaiole is an unexpected wine. This beautiful expression shares very little with its peers. The wine achieves the signature style and elegance that is so unique to Salvioni despite the warm vintage. The results are ethereal and deep with classic aromas of dark fruits and spice. But the bouquet is unusual in that it also offers very sophisticated layers of pressed flowers, cloves, dusty mineral and grilled rosemary. The tannins are enormously silky and polished. Hats off to Salvioni. Mar 2016, www.robertparker.com

About the producer
The foremost wine is Brunello di Montalcino, which over the years has earned widespread acclaim in Italy and abroad. Produced in famously tiny quantities, demand consistently far exceeds supply, meaning bottles tend to vanish from the market almost as soon as they appear.
