Ciacci Piccolomini Pianrosso Brunello di Montalcino 2016 750ml

Ruby red verging on garnet. The bouquet is intense, complex, fruit forward and spicy with hints or ripe red berry fruits enriched by various spicy notes. Warm, soft and harmonic on the palate. Great balance among pronounced tannins, acidity and savouriness. This elegant wine has great potential for cellar aging.

Nestled on the backside of the Castelnuovo dell’Abate hill, this estate offers panoramic views of Monte Amiata and the rolling hills of Tuscany at its southern flank. The peculiar style of this lovely wine is clearly molded by this particular environment. I’ve watched the grapes being kissed by the final golden rays of the day as the sun sets from this property. I’m impressed by the warmth of character that this fascinating selection of new books offers. Off the usual road, both physically and figuratively, this land is untamed and uncharted.
