Marchesi Antinori Pian delle Vigne Brunello Di Montalcino (2021)

Pian delle Vigne is Antinori’s Brunello di Montalcino estate, known for a polished, classically styled expression of Sangiovese. The property lies about six kilometers southwest of Montalcino and takes its name from the 19th‑century railway station that still sits on the grounds. Antinori purchased the estate in 1995 and released its first Brunello that same year, positioning it as their interpretation of traditional Montalcino: aging in large botti to emphasize purity, elegance, and restraint rather than oak-driven power.

Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino is ruby red. The nose expresses notes of citrus fruit and fresh red fruit especially cherries and strawberries, together with pleasant hints of lavender and tobacco. The palate is fresh and fruity with vibrant tannins that accompany a long, savory finish, closing with a floral aftertaste.
