The company consists of 184 hectares, of which 65 are vineyards exposed mainly to the south-west at an altitude of about 130 meters above sea level The company has been owned by the Antinori family since 1995, the year of the first harvest of Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino DOCG.

Tasting Notes

The wine has an intense ruby red color. The nose is complex, with notes of ripe red fruit, reminiscent of cherry, well in harmony with the floral scents. The bouquet is completed by sensations of chocolate, tobacco, cloves and both aromatic and balsamic herbs. A Vintage, 2016, capable of expressing great finesse and elegance and of giving the wine a good freshness accompanied by soft tannins and an excellent gustatory length. Pleasant notes of spices and tobacco return to the finish.

Pairings

Ideal in combination with any type of stewed game. Excellent with the classic wild boar alla cacciatora.
