Cerbaiona
Vino Rosso Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
On the nose, this is an absolute kirsch bomb with some hints of licorice and spice. The palate gets covered with rich, dark cherry liqueur and Mediterranean spices. Medium-lowish tannin and medium acidity. It’s a bit simple but it’s an N.V. Vino da Tavola so let’s not get too carried away. This is more than satisfying and a great Tuesday night food wine. Undeniably good for the money. I mean, Cerbaiona? For $25? Crazy.

Extremely concentrated and very polished from barrique. Not really my preferred style, but very well made. It’s just that when the freshness ends, oak tannin prevails. So Cal-Ital.

A field blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvigon, Malvasia Mera and Sangiovese

Will revisit tomorrow. More Brett and VA than I would have anticipated from a non vintage "house style"t able wine. ....day 2 dropped my score, this wine is rustic but is filled with flaws, left and right, can't stand it

Mar 31st, 2021Wine tasting bottle 2: Cerbaiona Rosso V.D.T. A beautiful red blend of Sangiovese & Pinot Noir. Complex & layered with bright red currants, pomegranate, dry tea leaves & a hint of spice (just to name a few!). A clear winner in my mind! Cheers🍷

Excellent #cerbaiona Vino Rosso. Serious Sangiovese / brunello profile. Better than many Brunelli. Could age for years but delicious now at opening & next day
