Making Cerbaiona Brunello involves selecting the best bunches, areas, and vines in the vineyard. However, the second-choice grapes are harvested, vinified, and aged with the same care. Only free-run wine is used in Cerbaiona Brunello, Rosso di Montalcino, Collalto, and Santinovo from the Atelier labels. The pressings from these top wines are destined for second or third passage woods and end up in Grammatica. In other words, making the finest wines, the tip of the pyramid, requires selecting other wines that come from the same vineyards and are vinified with the same care. These wines enjoy the privilege of following the classic procedures—in the vineyard and in the cellar—used at Cerbaiona, which guarantees a final wine that deserves the name Cerbaiona, even though it is the base wine. Why is it called ‘Grammatica’, as in “grammar”? Because it expresses the discipline and meticulous methodology of the Cerbaiona atelier, even the small scraps of fabric here are high-end raw materials, carefully collected and cared for to create a simpler garment, yet one that is pure and representative of Cerbaiona's work. The name Grammatica draws inspiration from an expression used by Giocondo Albertolli in his drawing manual, Ornamenti Diversi (1782), one of the definitive references of Neoclassicism. Albertolli was born a plasterer and was therefore accustomed to working with his hands. He conceived the manual as a text for training woodcarvers, to pass on to them the art in which he was a master. In his view, the work that craftsmen had to perform with their hands first had to be learned through study, understanding, and reproduction of the drawings contained in the manual to learn, as Albertolli explained, “the correct grammar of drawing.” In this way, the students trained their hands through their minds to create the final product, whether it was wood or stone decoration. It was a long, methodical, and meticulous process, designed to teach an art form dedicated to expressing the best through products of great refinement. The grammar of doing things well is at the heart of Cerbaiona, from the tip to the base of the pyramid. And so the simplest wine from Cerbaiona is called: Grammatica Rosso Toscana IGT.
