- This wine accentuates the pleasant freshness of the Sangiovese grape, Montalcino’s historic variety. The vineyard’s soil composition is calcareous-clay, allowing Rosso di Montalcino to develop its characteristic freshness, minerality, and finish. Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino DOC is ruby red. The nose expresses notes of citrus and fresh red fruit, especially cherries and strawberries, and pleasant hints of lavender and tobacco. The palate is fresh and fruity with vibrant tannins that accompany a long, savoury finish, closing with a floral aftertaste.
The purchase of the Tignanello estate in 1900 marked the beginning of a remarkable period of expansion, which shows no signs of abating. Through the judicious acquisition of vineyards and an uncanny knack for developing iconic wines, Antinori has become Tuscany’s – arguably Italy’s – pre-eminent wine producer, with an important presence in Piedmont, Lombardy, Umbria, and Puglia. Marchese Piero Antinori sums up the company’s outlook thus: “Ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never held back our spirit of innovation.”

| 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. Pian del Vigne estate, located 3.5 miles (6 kilometres) to the southwest of the town of Montalcino, takes its name from a characteristic 19th-century railroad station situated within the confines of the estate. The property consists of 460 total acres (184 hectares), 160 of which (65 hectares) are planted to vines with generally a southwestern exposure at an altitude of 430 feet (130 meters) above sea level. Pian delle Vigne is the personal and profound interpretation on the part of Marchesi Antinori of a traditional prestigious wine such as Brunello di Montalcino. The estate has belonged to the Antinori family since 1995, the first vintage of the Pian delle Vigne Brunello. The Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino aims to fully bring out the fragrance of pure Sangiovese, the historic grape variety of Montalcino. The vineyards are situated on calcareous clay soils, creating fresh wine that is mineral in character and excellent for drinking. |
