Cerbaiona
Tucked away off the Torronieri road the small Cerbaiona estate has been
home to Diego & Nora Molinari since 1977, who produced their first
vintage in 1980, all 70 bottles of it!
The estate comprises 3 hectares of vines & 12 ha of wood and olive grove; half planted to Brunello, the rest to Sant'Antimo and IGT Toscana (using Cabernet Sauvignon, Malvasia Nera, Merlot & Syrah). Production is limited to 8,000 bottles.
Lying on the north-eastern shoulder of the Montalcino commune the estate enjoys a fine eastern exposition at 390 metres elevation, with good aeration & galestro/alberese clay soils. This imbues the wines with a naturally good acidity. Diego does not use herbicides, pesticides or fungicides on his vines. This hands-off approach is reflected in their tiny winery, which is bolted onto the back of the 16th century property. A wooden press is preferred, followed by gentle vinification in cement & ageing/invecchiamento in 20hl slavonian botte.
The Brunello spends 30 mths in oak, followed by a year in bottle pre-release, while the Rosso sees 18 mths.

This 100% young vine Sangiovese carries the name of the owner/winemaker, reflecting his commitment to high quality and search for pure fruit expression: a fine compact, detailed nose of cool licorice and black cherry notes while the medium bodied palate shows more youthful, crunchy raspberry like ...

Perhaps thanks to its 390 metre elevation and east-facing galestro slopes, Cerbaiona seemed to shrug off the worst of the heat in 03. For the nose retains the family trait of cool, black olive and crushed mineral notes. The full-bodied palate seems to give so generously:warm strawberry flavours ... MORE Drink 2008-2018 . | ||||

Very much in its youth, Diego and Nora's 05 Brunello, all 583 cases of it, shows only distinct, crunchy red and black cherry stone fruit, primary and at this stage deceptively straightforward. The palate is slightly more forthcoming, boasting a fie texture, a beautiful limpidity, a firm ... MORE | ||||
