Tenuta Pian delle Vigne, situated 6 kilometers southwest of Montalcino, derives its name from a locality known for its distinctive 19th-century railway station. The estate spans 184 hectares, of which 65 are dedicated to vineyards oriented southeast at an elevation of approximately 130 meters above sea level. Since its establishment in 1995, the Antinori family has cultivated a deep commitment to producing a notable Brunello, reflecting both tradition and personal interpretation.
The inaugural harvest of Brunello Pian delle Vigne marked the beginning of a legacy. This wine exemplifies the Antinori family's dedication to crafting a refined product. The winemaker describes it as exhibiting a vibrant ruby red hue, accompanied by a bouquet of red fruit aromas such as cherries, complemented by subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is characterized by its freshness, refinement, and savory qualities, showcasing well-rounded tannins and a prolonged finish that enhances its overall drinkability.
Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino is ruby red in color. The nose delivers fresh hints of red fruit especially black cherries that lead over to Sangiovese’s typical aromas of blood oranges and delicate hints of spices. The palate is vibrant, supple with silky tannins. Notes of strawberries and blood oranges accompany a long persistent finish.
92 James Suckling Vinous and fragrant nose of strawberries and fresh violets with touches of cinnamon, rhubarb and pepper. Light-bodied on the palate, it shows drinkability, silkiness, crisp acidity and a graceful aftertaste.
90 Jeb Dunnuck A youthful medium red hue, the 2023 Rosso Di Montalcino is expressive and ripe out of the gate, with notes of baked red cherries, leather, and balsamic herbs. Plush and inviting, the palate is ripe with pliant tannins and medium to full-bodied richness. It's delightful now and will drink well over the coming 5-6 years.
