About this Item
Salvioni is a leader in the cult Brunello genre, along with the likes of Soldera and Biondi-Santi. Based in Montalcino, Salvioni owns one of the commune’s best and most well-recognized crus – ‘La Cerbaiola’ – in the southeast of Brunello di Montalcino. While only a mere 4-hectare plot of old, low-yielding vines, Giulio Salvioni and his strict standards produce one of the region’s greatest, most sought-after wines from this site. The winemaking is kept traditional and simple. Known for their incredible purity, elegance and long-ageing structure, Salvioni’s small-batch wines are a true triumph for artisanal winemaking in the region.

Critics Ratings
‘Bright cherry and blue floral aromas come with hints of leather and spice. The vibrant palate delivers succulent wild cherry and white pepper restrained by fresh acidity and bracing tannins. It has mesmerizing depth, finesse and balance. Drink 2015–2028.’ - Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100, (May 2014)
‘Aromatic, offering pure cherry and strawberry fruit, with gamy balsamic notes, this red combines depth and complexity. Shows finesse, harmony and well-integrated acidity and tannins. Fine length. Best from 2015 through 2028.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Dec 2013)
