Cerbaia, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Kompleks og spændende italiensk rødvin på sangiovese druen. I glasset der er en skøn duft af tørret frugt, floral, urter og modne, mørke frugter kirsebær. Den er silkeblød og dyb og mineralsk, med smag af kirsebær, figner og et let krydret præg. Et skønt glas med fine og behagelige tanniner. Vinen kan sagtens drikkes nu, men kan også med fordel gemmes.

Macerationen og fermentering på temperatur-kontrollerede ståltanke varer i 15 dage. Herefter lagrer vinen i 36 måneder på slovakiske fade, efterfulgt af 6 måneders flaskelagring inde den frigives. Marken ligger så højt, at den når over tågen og beskytter mod forårs frost. Der er stenet jordbund og højden giver køligere forhold og giver aromatisk og kompleks frugt stil.

Anmeldelser

Robert Parker, 93 point:

"The Cerbaia 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is silky and polished. There are small berry nuances on the bouquet with background notes of spice, tar and dried rose. These fragrant layers are delicate, light and softly intermingled. There is more power in terms of mouthfeel; however, and both the tannic impact of the wine and its freshness leave a lasting mark. That hot 2017 vintage punch definitely comes through at the end, so I recommend giving this bottle ample time to age and soften. Production is 10,000 bottles. Elena Pellegrini of Cerbaia says the 2017 vintage is among the most difficult she has encountered in recent years. "We lost a significant part of our production in 2017 because of April frost and August hail," she says. Fortunately, her estate's location at the cooler, northern side of the appellation meant that the vines were better suited to face the scorching summer heat".

James Suckling, 93 point:

"A firm and chewy wine with cherry and sandalwood character as well as hints of praline. It’s full-bodied and solid with attractive tannins that give the wine form and tension. Try after 2023".

93 points Wine Critics:
"Serious and complex alternating notes of undergrowth with hints of slightly dried prunes, camphor, dates and chopped mushrooms. Full bodied, velvety tannins and a luminous finale of incredible pleasantness".
