Produced exclusively from \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese Grosso\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it reveals intense aromas of undergrowth intertwined with clear notes of red berries and ripe cherry. On the palate, the sip is structured and precise, characterised by a rich extract and \u003cstrong\u003epresent yet smooth tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. A well-balanced acidity supports the \u003cstrong\u003elong-lasting flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e of this wine, which is fermented in steel and aged in oak barrels, making it ideal for pairing with roast red meats and game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Tuscany, in the area of \u003cstrong\u003eMontalcino\u003c\/strong\u003e, from hillside vineyards situated at an altitude between 420 and 440 metres. The vines benefit from excellent south and south-east exposure, which ensures \u003cstrong\u003egood natural ventilation\u003c\/strong\u003e. These conditions create a microclimate favourable to late ripening, with the harvest taking place between the end of September and the beginning of October. The soil is strongly characterised by \u003cstrong\u003egalestro\u003c\/strong\u003e, a stony marl typical of the area, which gives the wine a distinctive softness and contributes to the perfect \u003cstrong\u003ebalance of acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with low-yield viticulture and a rigorous selection of bunches. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats with \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e from indigenous yeasts. In the absence of artificial climate control, temperature management is handled manually through frequent pumping over and délestage. The prolonged \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e lasts for about 28-30 days. After racking, the wine completes malolactic fermentation in steel before being transferred. Maturation continues in large \u003cstrong\u003emedium-toast Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and finishes with appropriate bottle ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the most fascinating curiosities of this Brunello is the management of its ageing process: the Slavonian oak barrels are divided between two cellars, one located at the estate for the older barrels and another in the historic centre for the newer ones and for tastings. Furthermore, the excellence of this vintage has been recognised internationally, achieving the exceptional score of 97 from Robert Parker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Salvioni - La Cerbaiola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46811482685611,"sku":"61444","price":162.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/salvioni-la-cerbaiola-brunello-di-montalcino-2021_61444_1_f2839298-76a2-46e9-bfe0-943bfd1be93a.webp?v=1779898746","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-se\/products\/salvioni-la-cerbaiola-brunello-di-montalcino-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
