Cerbaiona Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Vin Chicago: 93+ Points

(9/2026) When 'Baby-Brunello' isn't sufficient, we promote 'bearded 17-year-old with a Mustang and a job at The Plant'-Brunello to define the quality and grandeur of this highly-overachieving Rosso di Montalcino - which we're confident will be the greatest one you've ever had. The top wines from the muscular 2022 vintage are not yet legally released yet, but this captures the personality of that harvest. Matthew Fioretti runs this cult Brunello property with historical reverance, now informed by resource and modern wisdom. Aged for a shorter time than its big brother, in Slovenian tonneaux, this sumptuous red smolders with ripe, burnished black cherry, singed fresh rosemary, dry-aged beef, thyme and violet notes - its light, classic color belying its serious intensity. Handsomely structured and layered, you savor every bite you chew on this special Rosso.
