Rosso di Montalcino 2019 75cl

The Antinori name, recognized by connoisseurs and critics alike as one of the oldest and most successful wine-making dynasties in the world, owns this articulate Montalcino cantina, Pian delle Vigne. The 184-hecatare property owes its name to the neighboring 19th century railway station that is still in use today. Purchased in 1995 by Marchesi Antinori, 65-hectares are dedicated to vineyards – cultivating exclusively Sangiovese grapes, known locally as Brunello. Managed by the forward-thinking Piero Antinori, he works alongside the brilliant enologists, Renzo Cotarella and Fabio Ratte to produce three striking pure-Sangioveses, as well as a Grappa. Located six-kilometers south of the quaint town of Montalcino, the cantina crafts well-built wines, defending the Antinori reputation year after year. Expressing the more muscular side of this celebrated Tuscan winery, the top-wine, Brunello di Montalcino was released on the market in 2000 and has since proved to be an exemplary balanced, full-bodied Sangiovese that will excel in both the near and long term.
