EnquiryCerbaia Rosso di Montalcino 2021
Cerbaia’s 2021 Rosso di Montalcino is a vibrant, juicy, beautifully balanced treat. Rose petals, medicinal herbs, warm loam, and underbrush frame the pure berry fruit in this deeply enjoyable wine. Pure Sangiovese Grosso fruit plays with silky tannins and electric acidity in this Rosso that is a true “baby Brunello.” Only 500 cases made each vintage.
About Azienda Agricola Cerbaia
Located above the fog line high on the Montosoli hill just north of Montalcino, Cerbaia is neither very large nor very old. This organic 29-acre estate (fewer than 11 acres under vine) was founded in 1978, but despite its relative youth and diminutive size, Cerbaia is one of Brunello’s rising stars and definitely an estate to watch! Agronomist Fabio Pellegrini chose Montosoli for his estate because he saw tremendous potential in the subregion’s galestro soil because this clayey, rocky dirt was ideal for the cultivation of small-berried, thick-skinned Brunello grapes. Fabio ran Cerbaia until 2014, which his daughter, Elena, assumed control. In trading her career in finance for that of a winemaker, Elena was making a big life change, but her gamble is paying off. Cerbaia may average only 1,500 cases of Brunello every vintage, but eyes are on Cerbaia’s wines. Traditional, aromatic, long-aging, and terroir-driven, Cerbaia’s Brunello releases have everything to please the wine’s many, many fans!

About Fontodi
Tenuta Fontodi has everything going for it: amazing history, terrific microclimates, outstanding skill, intense passion, and great people. The estate sits the... Conca d’Oro, or golden bowl, an ideal spot for winegrowing, and the Manetti family, who has owned the 200-acre Fontodi estate since 1968, has roots in Chianti Classico that date back to 1398, the year when Chianti had its very first official designation. Although the Manettis have been terracotta makers longer than they have been vintners, their love for Toscana drives both pursuits, and, indeed, Giovanni Manetti, Fontodi’s owner-winemaker, has been the president of the Chianti Consorzio since 2018. Fontodi has made some radical changes in recent years, including removing the Cabernet Sauvignon component of its Vigna del Sorbo, making it pure Sangiovese, and opting to vinify some of their wines in amphorae. Certified organic, thoroughly traditional, and utterly bewitching, Fontodi’s wines stand as the epitome of Tuscan elegance, and that never goes out of style.
About Tenuta di Bibbiano
The name “Bibbiano” first appears in historical documents that are more than 1,000 years old, and these lands have been growing grapes for almost... that long; a respect for this legacy imbues everything that Tenuta di Bibbiano does, from its superb Chianti Classico bottlings to its excellent olive oil. In 1865, the Marzi family purchased the Bibbiano lands, and for five generations, they’ve been the careful, conscientious stewards of the property. Tenuta di Bibbiano boasts gorgeous vineyards that span about 60 acres in the Chianti Classico zone. Surrounded by a large grove of olive trees, Bibbiano’s limestone-rich, clayey vineyards are home to primarily Sangiovese Grosso and Sangiovese vines, along with other select indigenous Tuscan grape varietals, and the estate has been certified organic for more than a decade. While Bibbiano developed their wines with famed enologist Giulio Gambelli, today’s owners, Tommaso and Federico Marrocchesi Marzi, work with Maurizo Castelli. Together, they strive to create wines that reflect their Tuscan traditions and terroir.
About Marchesi Antinori Tenuta Tignanello
The Antinori family’s Tenuta Tignanello is a gently hilly property located between that the family has owned since the 1800s. This... 321-acre Tuscan estate gets its name — Tignanello — from its most famous vineyard, but its vines grow the grapes for multiple wines. When Piero Antinori was searching to add his own voice to the Super-Tuscan revolution in the late 1960s, he turned to Giacomo Tachis, the consulting winemaker behind Sangiovese, as well as Ornellaia. Piero wanted to make wines that reflected his family’s Tuscan heritage, and in 1971, Tignanello, a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet, and Cabernet Franc, was born. Sporting marly, limestone-rich soils that show remnants of the Pliocene Period when the region was covered in an ocean, Tenuta Tignanello enjoys sunny days, cool nights, and a gentle breeze, ideal conditions for wines that sing with a true Tuscan voice. This estate is home to three of Antinori's crown jewels: Solaia, Tignanello, and Chianti Classico Riserva.
About Marchesi Antinori Villa Antinori
While most of the Antinori family’s estates are firmly anchored in a specific wine region or subregion, its Villa Antinori project... represents an idea: the family’s deep roots in Toscana, as interpreted by patriarch Niccolò Antinori. In 1928, Niccolò wanted to make a red wine that symbolized his connection to Toscana, and Villa Antinori was born; a white followed four years later. Today, the Antinori family draws from its various estates in Chianti Classico — including its Tignanello, Solaia, Badia a Passignano, and Monteloro holdings — to make just four Villa Antinori bottlings: the estate’s captivating Rosso IGT and its delightful Bianco IGT, as well as a superb Chianti Classico and a Pinot Bianco. The labels of these Villa Antinori bottles depict Villa del Cigliano, the family’s sixteenth-century home situated in San Casciano in the gently rolling hills north of Florence. More than a home, Villa del Cigliano embodies the Antinori family’s ancient connection to winemaking because it’s the place where the family took its first steps into crafting the wines that have made the Antinori family the global force it is today.
ABout Canalicchio di Sopra
Canalicchio di Sopra’s history is also the history of Montalcino. Once a sharecropper, Primo Pacenti founded the estate in 1962 on land that his... family had worked for generations. Primo was proud to be one of the original twelve members of the Brunello Consortium; when he retired, Primo handed Canalicchio di Sopra to his son-in-law, Pier Luigi Ripacciolo, and since 2001, the estate has been run by Pier Luigi’s three children, Francesco, Marco, and Simonetta. With two vineyard parcels that sit north and east of the town of Montalcino, sheltered by Mount Amiata and kissed by sea breezes blowing off the Mediterranean, Canalicchio di Sopra’s 47 acres occupy some the highest altitudes in the Brunello region and possess a superb range of microclimates. “Elegance” is the watchword at Canalicchio di Sopra, and this maker delivers, vintage after delicious vintage.
