Pian delle Vigne | Antinori

Kräftiges, dunkles Rubinrot. Im Bouquet schwarze und rote kleine Beeren, dazu etwas Leder, Tabak und Kräuterwürze. Feine, schwarzfruchtige Extraktsüße im Trunk, abgerundet durch Kräuter und Gewürze, das gut gebaute Tannin gibt gewissen Druck und Kraft, im Abgang vermählen sich seine vielschichtigen Komponenten mit frischer Säure zu einem sehr trinkigen Roten, der seine Herkunft und Rebsorte zu keiner Zeit leugnet.

"An opulent, forthcoming style, from its initial cherry and kirsch fruit to the leather and black pepper elements. Balanced and broad, with a firm, savory finish." Wine Spectator

"This is a serious Rosso di Montalcino with plum, dark-cherry and walnut aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Try after 2022." James Suckling

"The 2019 Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino wafts up with an intense display of peppery florals and crushed stone, giving way to masses of black cherry, hints of cocoa and sweet tobacco. The textures are silky and pliant, cast across a medium-bodied frame with ripe red and black berries, wrapped in a web of minerals and rounded tannins which slowly unfurl, making for a tactile feel of youthful tension. This is impressively long and structured for the category, but with primary fruit to match. Antinori really knocked it out of the park with their 2019 Rosso." Vinous

Leuchtendes, kräftiges Rubinrot. Im ansprechenden Duft viel Himbeere, rote Kirsche, Lakritze und ein Hauch von Moschus. Am Gaumen spannungsvoll mit fester Säure und gutem Rückgrat, mit wunderbarem Gewürzauftrieb und einer feinen, süßen Seidigkeit. Die Vielschichtigkeit entfaltet sich harmonisch im langen Abgang, mit weiterer Reife wird er zu seiner vollen Größe auflaufen, sehr seriös und liebenswert. SUPERIORE.DE

"Satte, funkelndes Rubin. Offene Nase mit viel reifer Frucht, nach Zwetschken, Maulbeere und Lakritze. Viel reifes, dichtes Tannin am Gaumen, fest und stoffig, im Nachhall nach Kirsche und Bitterschokolade." Falstaff

"Cherry, plum and cedar aromas follow through to a medium to full body with integrated, polished tannins that are fine and pretty. Not the biggest Brunello from this vintage, but shows interest and focus." James Suckling

"The 2016 Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino from Antinori is dark and rich, displaying notes of brown spice, mocha and tobacco, before giving way to musky black cherries and sage. Its cooling, creamy textures usher in a dense wave of ripe red and hints of black fruit, with salty minerals and fine-grained tannins providing grip. Licorice and violets resonate, along with inner earth tones throughout the long and structured finish. The Pian delle Vigne will require many years of cellaring to show its best, but it is well worth the wait." Vinous

"A mix of cherry and berry fruit and wild herbs mark this red, whose texture starts out smooth before tannins turn aggressive on the finish. There is a lingering aftertaste of cherry, iron, earth and tobacco." Wine Spectator

"This has an expressive nose offering aromas of ripe red berry, violet, star anise and coffee bean. Elegantly structured, the linear palate features mature black cherry, blood orange, ground clove and espresso alongside taut, fine-grained tannins that leave a firm finish. Give it several years to fully develop." Wine Enthusiast

"The Marchesi Antinori 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne takes us back to a classic profile for the estate in which you perceive an open and approachable bouquet. This is textbook Pian delle Vigne. The wine's foundations are rooted in ripeness with dried cherry and blackberry, and there are earthy notes with some powdery licorice and iron ore. Pian delle Vigne performs nicely in the celebrated 2016 vintage; however, this wine remains far more accessible than its peers, and I suggest a near to medium-term drinking window as a result. It was racked out of barrel and went into glass sooner in order to preserve the aromatic integrity of the vintage." Robert Parker
