| Description: | Surrounded by woodland, the 20 hectares of La Cerbaiola, home of the great Salvioni Brunello, look out over the Val d'Orcia from an altitude of 420 meters, 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. All the work in the vineyard is carried out by hand, with hard pruning to obtain low yields of fruit and careful selection during the manual harvest. Production is deliberately limited, to obtain the very best from a unique terroir : only 10,000 bottles a year when only Brunello is made; and 15,000 for the years in which there is also some Rosso di Montalcino. |
