Sangiovese, Cerbaia ‘Rosso di Montalcino’

tart cherry • savory herbs • tuscan snap

Bright, crunchy Sangiovese with sour cherry, cranberry, dried rose, and a little savory earth that makes you want a bite of salumi immediately. Fermented in stainless and aged in large oak, it stays clean and lifted while the tannins get just enough polish to feel serious. In 2022, the fruit comes through a little more open and juicier, so it drinks effortlessly but still finishes with that classic Montalcino snap.

Cerbaia is one of those small, quietly serious Montalcino estates that makes wine the old-school way: honest Sangiovese, minimal flash, maximum sense of place. Montalcino is Tuscany’s crown jewel for Sangiovese because it can deliver real structure without losing freshness, and Cerbaia leans into that balance—savory, lifted, and built to make food taste better.

Fun Fact: ‘Tuscan Snap’ is that classic sangiovese finish…bright acidity, a little tannin grip, and savory, earthy herbs that make you immediately want salumi and aged cheese.
