Salvioni's 2022 Rosso di Montalcino carries the signature of its hilltop perch above Val d'Orcia. Forest floor and ripe cherry in the glass, with that elegant mid-palate tension that comes from altitude and the region's bright microclimate. Approachable now, but built to age.
Winemaker Notes
The altitude, location and microclimate of the area where Rosso di Montalcino originates endow the wine with intense fragrances of forest floor with evident red fruits and ripe cherries as well as a hint of nose-palate elegance which comes from this perfect combination of factors.
About the Producer
Surrounded by woodland, the 20 hectares of La Cerbaiola look out over the Val d’Orcia from an altitude of 420 metres, opening up like a gently sloping plateau four kilometres to the southeast of Montalcino. The air is clear, a slight breeze rustles the leaves, and on the hillside opposite the outlines of Pienza, San Quirico and Ripa d’Orcia are clearly visible. There are three small vineyards for a total of 4 hectares, each with its own characteristics: soils that vary from chalky schist to stony marl; and subtle differences of micro-climate that influence the ripening of the grapes.
