I tasted the Salvioni 2020 Brunello di Montalcino La Cerbaiola at the winery with Giulio Salvioni and his daughter Alessia after a long walk in the vineyards on a crisp autumn morning. There were a couple of really cute dogs running around as well. This is a gorgeous expression, and it is so important to see the vines and soils when considering a wine like this. Schistic galestro with quartz give this Brunello elegant mineral tones that frame a core of wild fruit and pressed violet. The wine shows that pretty pinch of citrus or blood orange that you often get with classical Sangiovese. The style is bright, transparent and finely polished.
