The nose offers pleasant impressions of strawberries and cherries together with delicate citrusy hints of blood oranges and floral aromas. The complex bouquet is completed by balsamic notes of eucalyptus and hints of tobacco. Pleasant freshness on the palate is accompanied by silky tannins and distinctive sapidity.
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne works very nicely all said and done. It presents the light and undertone character of the vintage against the ripe and more opulent style that is associated with this vineyard site at the lower parts of southern Montalcino. These two elements result in a balanced and forthright performance. The wine opens to a dark garnet colour and ripe aromas of dark cherry and blackberry followed by potting soil, rose bud and grilled herb.
Strong, dark ruby red. In the bouquet black and red small berries, in addition some leather, tobacco and herbal spice. Fine, black-fruity extract sweetness in the drink, rounded off by herbs and spices, the well-built tannin gives certain pressure and power, in the finish its multilayered components marry with fresh acidity to a very dark red, which does not deny its origin and grape variety at any time.
The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne shows a level of increased volume and texture that appears less frequently in its peers. This wine has always marched to its own drumbeat, and this newest release is no exception. A warmer microclimate characterizes the spot where these vineyards are located, and the fruit is opulent, ripe, and exuberant as a result. The Antinori house style also comes through, and the wine has a more contemporary or international outlook as a result. What I really want to say is that Pian delle Vigne shows great results in this vintage. The Pian is back.
