Log in / Sign up Cerbaia Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017
Nestled within just 12 acres, the petite Cerbaia estate boasts vines planted in the '70s on northeast-facing parcels, their roots firmly embedded in the renowned calcareous soil of Montosoli. Embarking on her journey at the estate, Elena Pellegrini, in only her second vintage, has crafted an exquisite Brunello—a testament to her emerging prowess.
The elevated terrain and mineral-rich soil yield naturally petite, thick-skinned berries, ideal for crafting a wine of concentrated structure. Yet, it's the aromatic complexity and finesse of tannin, usually reserved for wines at a higher price point, that define Cerbaia's exceptional offering.
Sangiovese pairs exceptionally well with classic Italian dishes such as pasta with tomato-based sauces or grilled meats.
The Cerbaia 2017 Brunello di Montalcino offers a silky and polished profile with delicate berry nuances, complemented by subtle notes of spice, tar, and dried rose.
Exhibiting both power and finesse, this Brunello reveals a pronounced mouthfeel, marked by a notable tannic structure and refreshing quality, culminating in the intense impact of the hot 2017 vintage.
