This is the king's wine of Pian Delle Vigne, a true flagship of Marchesi Antinori! The beautiful estate is located in the municipality of Montalcino, six kilometers southwest of this idyllic town. Here, the magnificent winery stands next to a characteristic 19th-century train station. This is where the name Pian Delle Vigne originated. The winery covers a total area of 184 hectares, of which 65 hectares are planted in the best locations in the area. At an altitude of 135 meters above sea level, the ancient vines for this top wine, the renowned Brunello di Montalcino, grow. With this winery, the Marchesi Antinori family aims to showcase the beauty of the wine region, and in particular the exceptional integrity of the Sangiovese grape.
Wood bearing for the Pian Delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino
This Brunello di Montalcino from the Pian delle Vigne winery is made from the very best and oldest vines. These are filled with Sangiovese grapes, which determine the quality of this red wine. The bunches grow in a climate characterized by the warmth of the sun, but also by the influence of the wind. The wind, which blows from the sea, provides the right cooling for the bunches. This allows the Sangiovese bunches to ripen slowly and evenly. The maturing process is a full and vigorous harvest, harvested entirely by hand. The bunches arrive in small crates at Antinori Pian Delle Vigne, where they are crushed and destemmed. The black juice is then aged for up to two years in the Antinori cellars. The wine can develop into the hero of the region, and after the period of oak aging, it also undergoes bottle aging. Only when the final result is perfect are the bottles sold worldwide.
Full and very powerful this Pian Delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino
It's a true joy to drink, a wine full of power and depth that already captivates our senses from the moment the cork is popped. We already smell hints of red fruit and violets, accompanied by aromas of dried flowers, cocoa, and cherries. In the glass, this red wine develops a deep red color with a black rim. Its aroma is abundant, and we're overjoyed, with beautiful ripeness of black fruit accompanied by spices like oregano and cloves. The refined aroma continues on the palate, where we taste impressions of ripe and supple fruit nuances with a lovely presence of herbs and cedar. The juicy tannins make everything very special and leave us with a warm impression. The long, elegant finish completes this Antinori Pian Delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino.
