- Vignaferrovia is a wine with a rich, compact entry and soft, silky tannins. It has a lively and fresh character, offering a complex blend of aromas and flavours. The wine opens with notes of leather, tobacco, and fresh balsamic sensations, with a hint of mint. As it develops on the palate, it reveals aromas of ripe Morello cherries and bitter cocoa, complemented by the merging flavours of ripe plums, dried flowers, lavender, sandalwood, and Mediterranean herbs. The bouquet is further enhanced by the delightful presence of cocoa powder, sweet, spicy hints of cinnamon, cloves, and a vibrant sanguine note, characteristic of Sangiovese. This combination creates a wine with intense and refined qualities, leading to a persistent, satisfying finish.
Light precipitation during September and the resulting cooler temperatures allowed the grapes to progress to optimal ripeness, boosting Sangiovese’s freshness and imparting soft, well-balanced tannins. Grapes for Vignaferrovia were harvested between the end of September and the beginning of October.
Pian delle Vigne Vignaferrovia 2016 is ruby red with light garnet reflections.

On the palate, Vignaferrovia has a rich, compact entry with soft, silky tannins that, together with its lively, fresh character, make the wine intense and refined, with a persistent finish.

| Winery | Brunello is the driest zone of Tuscany and has a winning combination of warm days and cool nights. This allows Sangiovese to reach optimum ripeness while retaining acidity and maximising concentration. The result is one of Italy’s grandest appellations: Antinori bought this well-sited estate in 1995. The Vignaferrovia vineyard grows on rocky, gravelly soils, a condition that naturally limits the grapevine’s growth rate and enhances the quality of the berries. Southwestern vineyard exposure allows sea breezes to mitigate hot summer temperatures and limit heat spikes. The Pian Delle Vigne estate is located 6 kilometres (3.5 miles) southwest of Montalcino. Its name comes from the eponymous area where a characteristic nineteenth-century railway station is located. Pian delle Vigne stretches out over an area of 184 hectares (454 acres), of which 65 hectares (160 acres) are planted with vineyards that grow at an altitude of approximately 130 meters (426 feet) above sea level and enjoy a southwestern exposure. The estate’s namesake wine, Pian delle Vigne, represents Marchesi Antinori’s deeply personal interpretation of a prestigious and traditional wine such as Brunello di Montalcino. The Antinori family acquired the estate in 1995, the same year the first Brunello Pian delle Vigne was harvested. |
