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.
Its small production difficult to find and the characteristics of this wine immediately identifiable with this particular vineyard site. Current vineyard planting at Cerbaiona consists of three main blocks planted in 1978, 1986 and 2000, with less than 3,600 plants per hectare.
Many vines are now missing and a progressive replanting program has been initiated to replant to higher density, with site specific clones selected from Guillaume nursery, a project that began with Paolo de Marchi nearly three decades ago, engaging in profound studies and clonal research on Sangiovese in Tuscany.
The aromas range elegantly and pleasantly from aromatic herbs to plum, from Mediterranean scrub to underbrush, with spicy and balsamic hints.
In the mouth, great roundness and velvety envelopment, hint of menthol. Very long finish.
To be matched with mature cheeses, first courses, main courses of red meat.
16-18 °C
if possible, decanter it half hour before service.
Organico
After a fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the wine ages in big Slavonian oak.
