Collection: Cerbaiona

This Cerbaiona Brunello is more than just the result of its ‘intermediate’ zone location i.e. not the leaner and more restrained north, nor the richer, more ripe southern part of Montalcino. No, here and exactly on the Cerbaiona ridge, with its exaggerated and obvious limestone and shale-infused sandy soil, something very individual happens.

Wanting to move away from what he refers to as a somewhat ‘hit or miss’ approach under Cerbaiona founder Diego Molinari, Fioretti has extensively replanted with massale and selected clones.

This, along with close planting and an incredibly detailed winery overhaul, will take all but the most adverse vintage vagaries out of play and let one of Italy’s greatest vineyard sites clear to do its thing.
