Cerbaia was born in Montalcino, in the heart of Tuscany among hills and picturesque landscapes, in 1978 from the passion for local viticulture of Fabio Pellegrini, an agronomist passionate about the land and its products. The company extends over a total of 12 hectares, of which 5 are vineyards. The remaining land was cultivated with olive trees (300 trees), arable land (1.5 ha) and woodland (2.7 ha). Cerbaia's production philosophy is traditional product-oriented, where the consumer can distinctly recognize the territory and style of this exceptional wine. Our activity is still focused on respecting nature: we ensure that our wines reflect geographical and territorial typicality. A small, high-quality production like this should be aimed at a qualified and exceptional clientele.
These wines come from two vineyards, Cerbaia and Bruciate located on the characteristic Tuscan marl. The vineyards are surrounded by Mediterranean scrub and grow in poor, well-structured, chalky soil: the land is greyish and composed of clay rock (Miocene), a marl formed by a mixture of sand and limestone rock; they are located at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level, exposed to the North-West, with a warm and dry microclimate, attenuated by gentle breezes, also guaranteeing healthier vines and grapes.
