Brunello di Montalcino, Azienda Salvioni (La Cerbaiola) 2021

The Salvioni 2021 Brunello di Montalcino La Cerbaiola opens quickly and gains clarity with each swirl, settling into a place of elegance and classical Sangiovese harmony. Dark fruit forms the core, framed by mineral tones and lifted floral highlights, and the palate carries this vintage forward with grace, revealing a delicate Sangiovese sweetness intertwined with subtle peppery spice and tart blood orange. Despite its 15% alcohol, the wine remains transparent and finely tuned, supported by beautifully managed tannins that are both firm and silky. This is a production of 14,750 bottles.
