2018 Antinori 'Pian delle Vigne' Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany

Winemaker's Notes: Intense ruby red in color, the 2018 Pian delle Vigne offers complex aromas of cherries, plums and dates with notes of cinnamon and clove spice. On the palate, its entry is smooth and silky with rich flavors, soft tannins and a persistent finish.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "The nose is a jungle adventure, as sanguine notes of meat and leather intertwine with a thicket of wild herbs, brambles and leaves, and a last hint of wild cherry. The palate teleports to the ice cream parlor on Main Street, serving artisanal, hand-churned mint chip, with a Luxardo cherry on top. A rare combination of extravagant and refreshing."


Wine Spectator - "A generous red, where ripe cherry, raspberry, plum, iron and rose hip aromas and flavors abound. Juicy and balanced, with a solid base of tannins underneath. A fine expression, this is balanced and persistent on the finish."
