Antinori Pian Delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino | 2021 | 750ml

About This Wine

Pian delle Vigne is the Antinori family's Brunello di Montalcino estate, about 6 km southwest of Montalcino. The family bought it in 1995, and that year's harvest was the first Pian delle Vigne. The estate is named after a 19th century railway station on the property.

The wine is 100% Sangiovese, as Brunello rules require. It ages for about two years in large oak casks of 30 to 80 hectolitres, which keep the focus on Sangiovese fruit rather than oak.

The Antinori family has made wine in Tuscany since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine vintners' guild.

Serving

Decant and serve with roast beef, wild boar ragù or aged pecorino.
