£64.00

Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona “Pianrosso” Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018 – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona The setting is the unique and inimitable hillside of Montalcino. This is the birthplace of Brunello Pianrosso, a small oenological masterpiece signed by Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona. Pianrosso is the name of the cru from which the wine takes its name. It is located at an altitude between 240 and 360 metres above sea level. Here the soils, of medium texture and composed of marl of Eocene origin, give the Sangiovese grapes unique characteristics. The particular geological conformation, rich in minerals, and the warm, sunny climate, with significant temperature swings between day and night, create an ideal environment for the ripening of vigorous, concentrated grapes. 100% Sangiovese Grosso, the vineyards are spurred cordon trained and guarantee a limited production and very high quality grapes. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel and vitrified cement vats. This best preserves the primary characteristics of the grapes and enhances the freshness of the wine. This is followed by ageing in Slavonian oak casks of 20 to 62 hectolitres for about 3 years, to which is added a further resting period in the bottle of over 8 months. In the glass, this Brunello has a beautiful intense ruby red colour with garnet reflections that herald a fascinating evolution. On the nose, intense and complex aromas: ripe red berry fruit, such as cherry, blackberry and plum, spicy notes of black pepper, nutmeg and liquorice. In the mouth it is warm, harmonious and elegant. The tannins, although pronounced, are well integrated and give structure and persistence. The finish is long and persistent, with hints of ripe fruit and spices.
