Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne Antinori 2018
D.O Brunello di Montalcino
Sangiovese
Description
Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne Antinori is a red wine made from Sangiovese grapes in Brunello di Montalcino DOCG by the Marchesi Antinori winery.
Tenuta Pian delle Vigne, located southwest of Montalcino, takes its name from the homonymous locality that is home to a historic 19th century railway station. Since 1995, the Antinori family has owned Pian delle Vigne and has sought to give its personal interpretation to this historic wine, maintaining a philosophy centred on the use of the large barrel, which allows the exceptional purity of the Sangiovese grape to be preserved and gives Brunello di Montalcino a vibrant elegance that lingers on the palate. The wine spends at least 24 months in barrel.
