Brunello di Montalcino docg\u00a0La Cerbaiona 2013<\/p>\n
Garnet \u00a0red wine. Scents of ripe red fruit (plums), tobacco, balsamic notes.\u00a0Full. Warm and well structured. Red fruits (plums, cherries in spirits), scents of mint. elegant and long lasting<\/p>\n
The wines are then transferred to Slavonian oaks casks – like the fermentation tanks, hand crafted by master coopers Klaus and Jacob Pauscha – ranging in size from 10HL, 17HL and 20HL. Minimal racking is used during the 30 months in cask.
\nToday, Cerbaiona produces 10,000 – 15,000 bottles of Brunello di Montalcino per \u00a0year. Depending on the vintage, 3,000 – 5,000 bottles of Rosso di Montalcino are also produced. To ensure quality and selection, sometimes small lots of Sangiovese IGT are also bottled.<\/p>\n
In 1977 a new owner, Diego Molinari, arrived from Rome, and neighboring growers were hired to replant and expand the vineyard. In 1981, Cerbaiona began to produce for commerce, and four years later labeled the wine from that vintage as Brunello di Montalcino.<\/p>\n
Nearly instantly, critics noted what the locals had known long before: The small hillside of Cerbaiona, with its galestro (limestone shale) soils infused with sand, is a unique patch of land in Montalcino. Almost by doing nothing, you can make an exceptional wine at Cerbaiona. Its vineyard location is that special and unique.<\/p>\n
In the several decades that followed, Cerbaiona took on the status of a cult Brunello, its small production difficult to find and the characteristics of this wine immediately identifiable with this particular vineyard site.<\/p>\n
Indeed, Cerbaiona is distinctly different than other Brunello and has the inimitable, individual signs of a cru vineyard; a wine for which being from Cerbaiona is its very essence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
