Description
Still red Brunello di Montalcino, 15% ABV, produced by Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona. 100% Sangiovese. 1.50 l magnum format, 2019 vintage. A Brunello from a winery with an important history and a cutting-edge production philosophy. The grapes come from medium-textured, marly soils of Eocene origin. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks and glass-lined cement vats at a controlled temperature. Aged in 7.5 to 62 hl Slavonian oak barrels for approximately 3 years, followed by bottle aging for over 8 months. Intense and complex aromas. Sensations of ripe red berry fruit complement various spicy notes. The palate is warm and harmonious with pronounced tannins; a full-bodied wine with a long, persistent finish that can further evolve with extended bottle aging.

In 1985, with the extinction of the family line, Giuseppe Bianchini took over the property. Giuseppe Bianchini, who had already worked in the estate for many years, applied a new and avant-garde production philosophy for those years, developing and increasing production, wine quality and opening up the export of our products to the world. Unfortunately, Giuseppe passed away in February 2004, leaving the task of continuing his work to his children Paolo and Lucia. Read more
