Cerbaia is a family-owned company that produces wines from some of Montalcino’s finest vineyards, with their Brunello being a true representation of a unique and distinct area. The company was started in 1978 by agronomist Fabio Pellegrini, who saw the potential of his land to produce wines of exceptional finesse and complexity. The Cerbaia company has 12 hectares of land, with 4.5 hectares of Brunello grapes located on the hill of Montosoli, one of the most favorable terroirs for Sangiovese in Montalcino. Elena, Fabio’s daughter, left her career in finance in 2014 to join the family business and carry on her father’s philosophy of making wine with minimal intervention and sustainable practices in their vineyards and products. Today, Cerbaia produces 18,000 bottles of Brunello per year, with their wines being a unique combination of a highly suited land, a traditional winemaking philosophy, and the energy of a young winemaker. The wines that emerge from Cerbaia’s vineyards truly represent the authentic terroir of Montalcino.
