Description

Backed by a fine Sangiovese vintage and great terroir, Nora and Diego’s 2010 Rosso di Montalcino is full yet refined with black, blue and brambly fruit that hang together in harmony; the nose twitching with a suggestion of black pepper. Setosa (silky) and plummy, with plenty of flesh, the label may designate a ‘Rosso’ di Montalcino but it’s poise, along with the layers of succulent and minerally fruit, suggests otherwise, clearly making this a finer wine than many Brunelli!

Cerbaiona, Tuscany

In 2015 the tiny property of Cerbaiona, tucked away off the Torronieri road southeast of Montalcino changed hands. Since 1977, owner Diego Molinari had built up the property from scratch, planting three hectares of vines on east-facing historic vineyards at an altitude of 350 metres above sea level. Whole-heartedly embracing an artisan, hands-off artistic approach he brought the estate to cult status, recognised for wines capable of reaching extraordinary heights.
