Silìneo – a neologism born from the fusion of "sinuoso" (supple) and "lineo" (linear). The name epitomises what this wine is all about: elegance, suppleness, balance and harmony. It is the most classic wine from Fattoria del Cerro and has been the most successful for years. Silìneo is made from 90 per cent Sangiovese (locally called Prugnolo Gentile) and ten per cent Merlot and Colorino, from vineyards in Acquaviva di Montepulciano on soils of marine Pliocene origin with clay and silt between 250 and 400 metres above sea level. After manual harvesting, fermentation takes place with maceration at 24 to 28°C with daily overflow and délestage. The wine then matures for seven months in tonneaux, followed by eleven months in large Slavonian oak barrels.

Garnet red with an intense bouquet. Black fruit, cherries, spicy notes, balsamic accents. Full-bodied on the palate, with silky tannins, balanced structure and a long final. A modern classic and a bestseller from Montepulciano. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dense, with ripe dark berries, cedar, walnuts and sweet spices on the nose. Full-bodied, firm and compact, with tight but seamless tannins framing a core of dark fruit layered with oak spices and sandalwood. Structured, with a savory, bitter and spiced finish." James Suckling
