The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne DOCG is produced at the eponymous Pian delle Vigne Estate, a historic Marchesi Antinori property located south of Montalcino, an area particularly suited for the production of great Brunellos characterized by finesse, balance, and longevity.
Produced exclusively from Sangiovese, this Brunello is the result of careful grape selection and traditional winemaking. The 2020 vintage, marked by balanced and consistent weather, allowed for optimal grape ripening, favoring aromatic precision, ripe tannins, and a harmonious structure.
The wine ages for a long period in large oak barrels, followed by further maturation in the bottle, developing an elegant and deeply territorial profile. The nose opens with notes of ripe cherry, plum, and small red fruits, enriched by hints of withered rose, sweet spices, tobacco, and subtle balsamic nuances.
The palate is full, deep, and well-articulated, with dense yet polished tannins and a freshness that accompanies the evolution towards a long, refined, and persistent finish.
A Brunello di Montalcino of great classicism, designed for aging and to authoritatively represent the Antinori style and the identity of the territory.
