{"product_id":"cerbaiona-brunello-di-montalcino-1997-1-5l","title":"Cerbaiona, Brunello di Montalcino, 1997 (1.5L)","description":"This is a magnum of 1997 Brunello from Cerbaiona's Molinari years, when a retired Alitalia pilot made a few hectares on a ridge east of Montalcino into one of the appellation's small jewels. Diego Molinari flew for 25 years before he and his wife Nora found the estate in the late 1970s. He was determined to follow the traditional path of Biondi-Santi, so he started out by visiting top estates and asking lots of questions. What he settled on is about as hands-off as Brunello gets. The Sangiovese Grosso was picked by hand and pressed in an old wood-sided press. It fermented in cement with no added yeasts or enzymes and went into bottle without fining or filtration. The land carries the rest: a galestro ridge facing northeast, sitting between northern and southern Montalcino, so the wine gets the south's ripeness along with the north's freshness and structure. The estate was sold in 2015, so every Molinari-era bottle is a piece of a closed chapter, and a large-format one is the kind you save for a table full of people. Because the wine is unfined and unfiltered, stand it upright ahead of time and decant it carefully off any sediment.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525013049401,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-289-33","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Cerbaiona-Brunello-di-Montalcino-1997-1_5L-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1790155014","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/cerbaiona-brunello-di-montalcino-1997-1-5l","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
