The 2014 Rosso di Montalcino from Salvioni is a beautifully delicate, refined expression shaped by the cooler, rain-affected vintage and elevated by the estate’s hallmark precision. The bouquet lifts with notes of sour cherry, cranberry, rose petal, citrus peel, and subtle herbal tones, all supported by gentle hints of spice and earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine is lithe and graceful, with bright acidity and fine, gently textured tannins that frame a core of vibrant red fruit. Layers of savory herbs, crushed stone, and a soft balsamic nuance add complexity as the wine glides into a long, understated, and quietly elegant finish. While the vintage favored finesse over power, Salvioni’s 2014 Rosso shows remarkable purity, balance, and charm—an authentically expressive and beautifully crafted interpretation from one of Montalcino’s most treasured estates.
Salvioni’s Cerbaiola estate is one of Montalcino’s most revered small producers, famed for its uncompromising artisanal approach and for crafting some of the purest, most soulful expressions of Sangiovese in Tuscany. Located just southeast of Montalcino, the tiny estate is guided by the Salvioni family, who farm their vineyards with extraordinary care, maintaining low yields and nurturing fruit that reflects both site and season with absolute honesty. The combination of clay-limestone soils, high elevation, and meticulous handwork yields grapes of remarkable aromatic lift and structural finesse. In the cellar, the philosophy remains steadfastly traditional—long fermentations, gentle extraction, and aging in large, neutral oak—all designed to preserve transparency, tension, and the estate’s unmistakable sense of place. Salvioni’s wines are prized for their depth, elegance, and rarity, representing some of the most sought-after bottlings in all of Montalcino.
