Cerbaia Brunello di Montalcino Riserva
The Pellegrinis select fruit from the oldest vines for this Riserva. At a relatively high elevation above the inversion layer and with reflective and well-draining soils, the fruit is concentrated and aromatic. Slavonian oak aging showcases the vineyard’s natural character. The label shows a deer lying down, attesting to the vineyard’s history and the wine’s ability to cellar for many years.
