2011 Brunello di Montalcino, La Cerbaiola, Salvioni (6 x Bottle)

I absolutely love what the Salvioni family has created in this vintage. The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino La Cerbaiole is an unexpected wine. This beautiful expression shares very little with its peers. The wine achieves the signature style and elegance that is so unique to Salvioni despite the warm vintage. The results are ethereal and deep with classic aromas of dark fruits and spice. But the bouquet is unusual in that it also offers very sophisticated layers of pressed flowers, cloves, dusty mineral and grilled rosemary. The tannins are enormously silky and polished. Hats off to Salvioni.

Salvioni’s 2011 Brunello di Montalcino is supple, open-knit and quite pretty. This is an especially lifted, gracious Brunello from Salvioni. In 2011, it is the wine’s silkiness and inner perfume that stand out, with scents of sweet red cherry, plum, hard candy, and white flowers that add to the wine’s considerable allure. The 2011 is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. Then again, these wines have a way of exceeding expectations in terms of their aging potential.
