Gentle at first and then quietly gripping, Salvioni’s 2020 Brunello di Montalcino layers pure black cherry and ripe red berry fruit with hints of minty herbs, citrus peel and warm earth, all carried on a silken, almost weightless texture. The balance in this warm vintage is remarkable: bright, mouthwatering acidity and very fine, sweet‑edged tannins give the wine both grace and latent power, leading to a long, scented finish that lingers with floral and savory notes. This is a poised, deeply expressive Brunello that will reward patience but already captivates with its clarity and energy.

Salvioni’s Brunello di Montalcino from La Cerbaiola is a tiny-production, traditional Sangiovese Grosso Brunello from southeast of Montalcino, grown on high-altitude galestro and stony marl soils and aged about 36 months in large Slavonian oak. Known for combining intense yet pure red-cherry and floral fruit with refined tannins, notable extract and a long, elegant finish, it is considered one of the appellation’s benchmark, long-lived and most sought-after artisanal wines.
