| Color | Intense ruby red. |
| Perfume | The nose is complex, with impact, characterised by notes of ripe red fruit and violets accompanied by sensations of dried flowers, cocoa powder, cherries under spirits and spices such as oregano and marjoram. |
| Taste | The palate is elegant, rich and complex, with soft, succulent tannins. The freshness of certain sensations perceived on the nose can also be found during tasting. |
| History | Tenuta Pian delle Vigne, located 6 km southwest of Montalcino, takes its name from a characteristic 19th century railway station on its grounds. The estate consists of 184 hectares, 65 of which are under vine, mainly exposed to the southwest at an altitude of about 130 metres above sea level. Pian delle Vigne has always pursued the large-barrel philosophy, which preserves the extraordinary integrity of the Sangiovese fruit and gives Brunello its characteristic vibrant elegance. The estate has been owned by the Antinori family since 1995, the year of the first harvest of Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. |
