1997 Brunello di Montalcino Salvioni, La Cerbaiola, Tuscany 75cl

From one of Montalcino’s most respected boutique estates, this 1997 Brunello di Montalcino from Salvioni (La Cerbaiola) represents a benchmark expression of traditional Sangiovese from an outstanding vintage. Produced in very limited quantities from meticulously tended vineyards, Salvioni’s wines are renowned for their purity, precision and remarkable ageing capacity. The 1997 vintage—widely regarded as one of Tuscany’s great years—has matured into a beautifully resolved and deeply expressive Brunello. Now at peak drinking, this wine offers a layered and generous aromatic profile: ripe red cherry and plum at the core, evolving into notes of leather, tobacco, dried herbs and subtle spice. On the palate, it is rich yet balanced, with supple tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish. There is both warmth and structure, making it an especially satisfying mature Brunello. A superb opportunity to acquire a classic, fully evolved example from a highly regarded traditional producer—equally suited for drinking or inclusion in a fine wine collection.
