Why We're Buying

Salvioni Cerbaiola Brunello di Montalcino DOCG comes out swinging. This traditional Brunello offers saturated flavors and a scintillating nose while maintaining a clear sense of place. After trying the 2015 vintage, owner Alessia Salvioni described the red wine as "picture perfect." With positive returns on investment from 2016 to 2020, it's hard to disagree.

Salvioni’s Brunello is a beautifully limpid ruby in colour, rather than saturated. Pretty scents of strawberry, rose and tea escape on an earthy backdrop. The palate is effortless and weightless, yet replete with dusty cherry and raspberry, while terracotta-textured tannins wrap around juicy nectarine flesh. The focus at Salvioni is one single wine – this Brunello, which is produced from the estate’s four hectares in Montalcino’s southeast. In years when quantities permit, like 2016, Salvioni also releases a Rosso. (MM)
