The latter was the owner of Summa Vitis, a US wine import company, which he closed in 2009 in order to fulfill his dream of being a full-time wine producer. Fioretti couldn’t have been any happier when Cerbaiona, one of Montalcino’s most admired estates, came up for sale. Reportedly, the group paid an astronomical 5.8 million euros for the property, which has made some of Montalcino’s most sought after Brunellos in the last twenty years. However, anyone visiting the estate didn’t have any trouble realizing that the failing health and increasing age of owners Diego and Nora Molinari had led to a slightly rundown feel at the winery and that work was needed in the vineyards too (the day I visited, Fioretti greeted me in work clothes as he had been busy working in the vineyards up until that moment). The estate has replanted another 1.4 hectares Sangiovese (sourced from France’s famous Guillaume nursery) to add to the three hectares it currently owns. Fioretti has also bought some new barrels, and is looking to use 10, 17 and 20 Hl oak barrels (Molinari used to use smaller 500L tonneaux).- Vinous 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cpre data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e{***}{region}Tuscany{region}\n{color}Red{color}                                                         \u003c\/pre\u003e\n\u003cpre data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e    {maturity}ready-keep{maturity} {maturity-text}Ready, but will improve{maturity-text}\n{vintage}2016{vintage}\n{ratings}         \n[]Jancis Robinson :: 17.5+\/20\n{ratings}         {***}\u003c\/pre\u003e","brand":"Berry Bros. \u0026 Rudd (HK)","offers":[{"title":"75cl","offer_id":44554900406428,"sku":"2016-0750-00-8027919","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7794\/3880\/files\/2013cerbaiona_9e2027f2-df97-4e10-87bf-d1c176f17b09.jpg?v=1708940496"},{"product_id":"2006-brunello-di-montalcino-riserva-conti-costanti-tuscany-italy","title":"2006 Brunello di Montalcino, Riserva, Conti Costanti, Tuscany, Italy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva emerges from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, liquorice and spices, all wrapped around a sensual, elegant frame of the notable class.

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is being reintroduced to the market, with only 2,500 bottles. This is a stunning wine that absolutely merits this considerable score increase. Made when dottore Franco Biondi Santi was alive and very present in the winery, this wine shows spectacular elegance and finesse, articulated with fine aromas of forest berry, blue flower, eucalyptus and lightly barbecued smoke. The wine shows extreme Sangiovese elegance and purity, and while the wine is almost fragile in approach, it ultimately reveals more brawn, volume and staying-power than anticipated.  - Wine Advocate 98\/100\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berry Bros. \u0026 Rudd Hong Kong","offers":[{"title":"75cl","offer_id":44541352607900,"sku":"2006-0750-00-8113414","price":3980.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7794\/3880\/files\/bottle.png?v=1742307933"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7794\/3880\/collections\/region-3750_Brunello_di_Montalcino.jpg?v=1758293140","url":"https:\/\/asia.bbr.com\/ja\/collections\/brunello-di-montalcino.oembed","provider":"Berry Bros. \u0026 Rudd Asia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
