The 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino pours a bright red color and shows more aromatic restraint than the 2021. The nose shows wild raspberries, darker berries, and dried floral tones, with a more muted, understated frame. Medium to full-bodied, it offers ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and solid length, although it feels a touch less polished than the 2021 at this stage. It should drink well over the next 12 to 15 years. Drink 2026-2041.

Cerbaiona’s 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is concentrated and expressive, with earthy tones folded into dark fruit, spice and pressed flowers. The palate is rich and powerful, showing greater structure and textural heft than usual, with flavors leaning firmly into the dark fruit spectrum and layered spiciness that underscores the character of this cellar-worthy vintage. Fermented in conical wooden vats with whole berries, the wine gains depth and definition while maintaining balance. Production totals 9,382 bottles plus larger formats.
