Welcome to Episode 1689 on Italian Wine Podcast, Wine, Food & Travel With Marc Millon. Today, he will be interviewing Elena Pellegrini More about today’s guest Elena Pellegrini, born in 1982 and raised in Rome but of Montalcino origins. After obtaining the specialist degree in Governance and Internationalization, she has a career in the field of banking intermediation, management and subsequently in the field of Human Resources but her essential link with wine brings her back to Montalcino in 2014. His choice to follow and develop the family business founded in 1978 is dictated by his innate bond with the territory, his passion for agronomy and his desire to bring the Cerbaia brand to the main international markets. Cerbaia is a family-run business dedicated to the production of wines from some of the best vineyards in Montalcino. His Brunello is the true expression of a unique and distinctive place.The Cerbaia company, with its 12 hectares of land, 4.5 of which under the denomination of Brunello, is located on the hill of Montosoli, one of the most favorable terroirs for Sangiovese in Montalcino. The vineyards are located on the north side and produce a selected and limited quantity of grapes of the highest quality. Today Cerbaia produces 18,000 bottles of Brunello a year, and its wines are the incredibly unique combination of a highly suited land, a traditional winemaking philosophy combined with the energy of a young winemaker. From the vineyards of the Cerbaia winery emerge wines that truly represent the authentic terroir of Montalcino.
