Fermented in steel and aged in oak barrels, this wine displays a ruby colour that varies depending on the vintage and reveals an intense aromatic profile, where notes of undergrowth and ripe cherry intertwine with hints of blueberry, graphite, black tea and powder. On the palate, it offers a taut, balanced and enveloping sip, supported by a pleasant freshness and a \u003cstrong\u003esilky tannin\u003c\/strong\u003e that accompanies a long and persistent finish. Thanks to its harmony, it pairs excellently with local cuisine, enhancing \u003cstrong\u003esucculent red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, grilled dishes and selections of \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from three plots on the Montalcino hillside, between 420 and 440 metres above sea level. The vineyards, facing south and south-east, benefit from constant ventilation and an \u003cstrong\u003eideal microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003egalestro\u003c\/strong\u003e, a schistose and limestone-rich soil that gives the wine a distinct territorial identity. The agronomic management focuses on very low yields to ensure a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-quality profile\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place after careful assessment of the degree of ripeness. The must undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e with indigenous yeasts in steel vats for about a month, during which pumping over and délestage are carried out to best manage the temperatures. Subsequently, the wine naturally undergoes malolactic fermentation before maturing in \u003cstrong\u003elarge Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for about twelve months. This process concludes with a further \u003cstrong\u003erefinement in the bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e, resulting in a vibrant and long-lived expression, ready to be enjoyed from the second year after the harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the passion of the Salvioni family, who have owned a historic pharmacy for over a century, this \u003cstrong\u003eRosso di Montalcino DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e represents a rare and authentic Tuscan excellence. Its production takes place only in years with sufficient quantities or when the grapes are not destined for Brunello. The wine rests for about \u003cstrong\u003e12 months in Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, kept between the estate and the cellars of the family residence. This skilful ageing gives the \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese Grosso\u003c\/strong\u003e a vibrant elegance, transforming history into a silky and enveloping tasting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Salvioni - La Cerbaiola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46811483144363,"sku":"61445","price":72.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/salvioni-la-cerbaiola-rosso-di-montalcino-2024_61445_1_1c461e1a-99de-424b-94aa-8213af47ff00.webp?v=1781194098","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-ch\/products\/salvioni-la-cerbaiola-rosso-di-montalcino-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
