Pian delle Vigne represents the personal and profound interpretation of the Marchesi Antinori of a prestigious and traditional wine such as Brunello. The company has been owned by the Antinori family since 1995, the year of the first harvest of Brunello Pian delle Vigne.
TASTING NOTES:
Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino has an intense ruby red color. The nose is complex, characterized by notes of ripe red fruit and small hints of plum and date; the bouquet is completed by sensations of Mediterranean herbs with floral hints of violet and a light spicy hint of ginger and chili chocolate. On the palate the entry is soft and silky. The wine shows balance, harmony and pleasantness, with a pleasant freshness capable of giving persistence and flavor. Notes of licorice and cocoa, together with ripe red fruits, outline the aftertaste.
VINIFICATION:
Upon arrival at the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and softly pressed and then transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place. Maceration lasted an average of twelve days at a temperature of 28 °C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was transferred to oak barrels of between 30 and 80 Hl where it began its maturation process in wood. After two years, Pian delle Vigne left the large barrel to begin a long refinement in the bottle.
SOIL:
The soil tends to be clayey and calcareous, rich in small skeletons.
