"A jeweled red color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino La Cerbaiola is wonderfully detailed on the nose with aromas of ripe cherries, cedar, dried roses, fresh leather, and mint. It carries beautifully onto the palate, with a medium to full-bodied frame and ripe tannins woven together with warming spice and fresh acidity. Everything you hope for, with lovely purity and fantastic length, this superb offering from Salvioni is complete and a benchmark wine for the vintage. Drink 2027-2050. 9900 bottles produced."
Vinous, 97 Points
"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is an immaculate beauty, tempting the imagination with vivid accents of violet and lavender before evolving into a menagerie of incense, cloves, dried roses and black cherries. It sweeps across the palate with grace, silken to the core, with a pretty inner sweetness quickly offset by waves of tart red berries and savory spice. Fine-grain tannins are expertly interwoven with a resonance of licorice and blood orange. A residual bump of vibrant acidity maintains an energetic feel, imparting this with a youthfully giving character while remaining structured and incredibly long. Collectors will have a hard time keeping their hands off long enough to watch the 2019 properly mature."
Decanter, 96 Points
"The abundant 2019 vintage resulted in Salvioni releasing both a Rosso and Brunello. The latter is a stunning follow up to the former: restrained yet captivating in its aromatic presentation, chestnut, fragrant wet forest and underbrush are accented by dried heather and juniper. The tannins are commanding and pervasive but roll over the palate gracefully, conferring a tactile, powdery texture. Still very understated, this hints at raspberries, currants and black tea, particularly on the long finish. As discreetly compelling as this is now, it will benefit from cellaring and possesses the power for a long stint there."
