The nose is simultaneously tart and rich, with aromas of sour cherry, cranberry and raspberry, while undertones of soil, coffee, cacao nibs and iron provide a warmer, savory balance. The palate has luxurious, brooding dark fruit, sliced through with searing acidity and towering tannins. A tour de force.

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino La Cerbaiola shows pretty color saturation with shiny highlights of dark garnet and black ruby. The bouquet is punchy and bright, but you also get a good dose of primary fruit with black cherry and dried currant. This is one of only a handful of wines from 2018 that gives confidence in terms of its cellar-aging potential. The tannins still need time to gain polish and softness, and the fresh acidity so beautifully locks those flavors and perfumes in place. The Salvioni family has beat the odds in a challenging vintage. Exactly 9,269 bottles were released.
