Sangiovese, Cerbaia Brunello 2019

black cherry • cedar tobacco • silky power

This is the deeper, more structured side of Cerbaia—black cherry, plum skin, dried rose, orange zest, and a savory finish that lands in cedar, tobacco, and polished leather. Fermented in stainless and aged long in large oak, it feels more layered and complete, with tannins that are firm but beautifully integrated. 2019 brings extra depth and length, so the wine reads as powerful and classic, but still totally poised—more velvet glove than iron fist.

Cerbaia’s Brunello is all about balance: traditional, terroir-driven, and never overworked. In Montalcino, the best wines manage to be both structured and lifted, and in a year like 2019 you really see why the region is legendary—Sangiovese with real authority, but still freshness and elegance. This is the kind of Brunello that turns people into Brunello people.
