“Pian delle Vigne” Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2021
Strong, dark ruby red. In the bouquet black and red small berries, in addition some leather, tobacco and herbal spice. Fine, black-fruity extract sweetness in the drink, rounded off by herbs and spices, the well-built tannin gives certain pressure and power, in the finish its multilayered components marry with fresh acidity to a very drinkyred, which does not deny its origin and grape variety at any time. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red. In the nose red cherry, strawberry candy, pepper and a delicate vegetal touch. On the palate of medium weight, shows nice juiciness, in addition still young tannin, in the pithy final." Falstaff
"From the characteristically clay-limestone soils of Pian delle Vigne comes a red that is all juiciness and freshness. A nose of redcurrants, with hints of thyme and juniper. On the palate it is taut-salty, with a fruity return and pleasant persistence." Luca Gardini

Brunello di Montalcino “Pian delle Vigne” DOCG 2018
Bright, intense ruby red colour. The appealing aroma is full of raspberry, red cherry, liquorice and a hint of musk. Tense on the palate with firm acidity and a good backbone, with wonderful spice and a fine, sweet silkiness. The complexity unfolds harmoniously in the long finish, with further maturity it will reach its full greatness, very serious and endearing. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red colour. On the nose, aromas of kitchen herbs, candied red berries, a hint of apricot, then floral notes of Christmas biscuits. Juicy, clear and balanced on the palate, with polished tannins, tightly woven, the fruit is beautifully emphasised, fun, balanced final." Falstaff
"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is dark and balsamic in the glass, with rich notes of mocha, plum sauce, grilled herbs and crushed ash stone. Silky, almost creamy to the touch, it floods the palate with mocha-coloured red fruits and rum-soaked sultanas, complemented by a hint of tobacco towards the finish. The 2018 rejuvenates with a mentholated freshness and grippy tannins that initially engage the senses but then slowly release them, allowing hints of balsamic and exotic spice to linger. This unique vintage of Pian delle Vigne has great appeal, but also a structure that will carry it through medium-term ageing." Vinous
"Intense chocolate, hazelnut, blackcurrant, cherry and spiced plum on the nose with a hint of sage. It is full-bodied and rich in flavour, accompanied by firm but creamy tannins. Polished and well balanced." James Suckling
"A generous red wine with aromas and flavours of ripe cherries, raspberries, plums, iron and rosehips. Juicy and balanced, with a solid base of tannins underneath. A fine expression that is balanced and persistent on the finish." Wine Spectator
"The nose is a jungle adventure, as sanguine notes of meat and leather intertwine with a thicket of wild herbs, brambles and leaves, and a last hint of wild cherry. The palate teleports to the ice cream parlor on Main Street, serving artisanal, hand-churned mint chip, with a Luxardo cherry on top. A rare combination of extravagant and refreshing." Wine Enthusiast
"A wonderful version of one of the great classics of the appellation of origin, signed Antinori. Refined aromas of red mulberry on the nose, eucalyptus, notes of medicinal herbs and laurel. On the palate it is crisp and taut, with salty tannins and again fruity, medicinal herb nuances." Luca Gardini

The Tenuta Pian delle Vigne is situated about six kilometres south of Montalcino above the Val d'Orcia. Its name derives from a typical 19th century railway station on the estate, which is still in use today. The vineyard, acquired by Marchesi Antinori in 1995, covers 184 hectares, of which 65 hectares are registered. The property also includes about two hectares of olive groves and 117 hectares of forest.
The vineyards, most of which face south-east, reach a height of between 130 and 200 metres above sea level. The loamy soils are clayey and calcareous, rich in skeletal elements and therefore ideal for growing Sangiovese. Half of the vineyard area is used exclusively for Brunello production.
After destemming and pressing, the berries destined for Brunello are placed in stainless steel tanks in which fermentation takes place for about three weeks under temperature control. The wine obtained in this way then undergoes malolactic fermentation. The ageing phase, which can last up to three years, then begins in oak barrels with a capacity of between 30 and 80 hectolitres before the good wine is bottled.
The first production of Brunello di Montalcino (vintage 1995) was launched at the beginning of 2000. The wines are considered balanced and very sustainable. With his Brunello Pian delle Vigne, Piero Antinori once again proves his reputation as one of the most important Italian wine producers.
Under the management of Piero Antinori, the quality of Italian wines has been significantly influenced and improved in recent decades. Among other things, the wine enthusiast was one of the first to experiment with barrique ageing. The Antinori House - an ancient Florentine family that switched from silk trading to viticulture in 1385 - has its headquarters in a Renaissance palazzo built in 1469 in Florence. Today the Empire includes numerous wineries and cellars, mainly in Tuscany, but also in the wine-growing regions of Apulia, Piedmont and Umbria. SUPERIORE.DE
