I WAIT:
The Antinori “Pian delle Vigne” has a beautiful, intense and brilliant ruby ​​red colour.

BOUQUET:
It reveals its richness which alternates references to juicy red fruit, such as cherries and raspberries, with other floral notes of violet, typical of Sangiovese. The picture is completed by perfectly integrated toasted nuances due to the aging in wood.

TASTE:
The tannin, on the palate, is soft and silky, as is the structure. It is a wine that combines body and depth and impeccable elegance. The taste is as intense as the perfume, with which there is a precise correspondence. The long persistence amplifies the perception of pleasantness of this noble Sangiovese. «We have a mission that is not fully accomplished, which drives us to express the vast potential of our vineyards and to reconcile the new that remains to be discovered with the heritage of Tuscan taste» this, in summary, is the mission of Piero Antinori and the soul of his wine.

It is also very convincing with very aged rich cheeses.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Pian delle Vigne is the Brunello di Montalcino of the Antinori family, a historic family of Tuscan wine producers that boasts a tradition of over 600 years, during which it has managed to follow the path of excellence until reaching peaks reserved for a few talents. To date, the Marchesi Antinori family in Italy has 8 estates, including the Pian delle Vigne winery located a few km south of Montalcino, just above the Val d'Orcia. The estate, as well as this wine, takes its name from a railway, present within the property since the 19th century. Study, research, experiments and great foresight distinguish the Marchesi, rooted at the same time in their beautiful Tuscan land with solid roots, from which all their ancient and future products come to life.
The Brunello "Pian delle Vigne" is produced exclusively with Sangiovese grapes, as befits this prestigious type. The pure character of Sangiovese, expressed with the most sincere honesty in a form of absolute elegance and finesse, which acquires ever greater class and complexity over the years. For this reason, the selection of the grapes is very accurate, both in the field and in the cellar. The malolactic fermentation follows the alcoholic fermentation, both in steel tanks. The refinement takes place in large oak barrels for a long time of over 2 years.
