VARIETY: Brunello di Montalcino
GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Sangiovese
The Pian delle Vigne estate in Montalcino was acquired by the Antinori family in 1995 and is located on the south-eastern side of the Montalcino hill towards Val d'Orcia. It takes its name from a 19th century railway station which is still in operation and is located within the splendid 184 hectare estate, a third of which is planted with Sangiovese Grosso vineyards. It is from these grapes that Pian delle Vigne originates, the Antinori Brunello di Montalcino, an elegant and sensual wine that matures in large oak barrels for more than two years before refining in the bottle.
Ruby color tending towards garnet. On the nose, sensations of violet, berries and plum follow one another in sequence, then black pepper, pleasant minty touches and sensations of leather and chocolate. In the mouth it expresses vigor and roundness, with excellent tannins that anticipate a very long finish.
