1997 | Azienda Salvioni | Brunello di Montalcino La Cerbaiola

Full-bodied, huge yet balanced, with amazing concentration and complexity.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: This 25-acre estate has fashioned a concentrated, dense, serious 1997 Brunello di Montalcino that justifies the hysterical praise this vintage has received. With a deep ruby/purple color as well as a sweet nose of black fruits, sage, lavender, leather, and minerals, this full-bodied, authoritatively powerful, concentrated Brunello is generous, compelling, and sensuous (a word I rarely use to describe Brunello di Montalcino).

• James Suckling: Great wine, with licorice, blackberry and meaty aromas. Full-bodied, huge yet balanced, with amazing concentration and complexity. Subtle yet outlandish, it goes on and on.

Producer Information

Azienda Salvioni (also known as Azienda Agricola La Cerbaiola di Salvioni Giulio) is an Italian wine estate situated in the hill town of Montalcino, in the heart of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation of Tuscany. The estate produces two Sangiovese-based wines: its flagship Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, and a Rosso di Montalcino DOC/DOP. Azienda Salvioni released its first Brunello di Montalcino in 1985 from grapes sourced at its La Cerbaiola vineyard. The 20-hectare (50-acre) vineyard is divided into three plots of Sangiovese vines varying in age from 10-25 years old. The vines are planted at an altitude of between 420 to 440 meters (1380 to 1440 feet) above sea level, with each plot characterized by its own distinctive microclimate and soil composition of chalk and marl.
