Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Ferrovia 2016 Jeroboam 3 Liters

The Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Ferrovia 2016 by Antinori is a Reserve of great personality, offered in the prestigious Jeroboam format of 3 liters. An important wine, designed for those seeking territorial expression, aromatic depth, and an elegant profile, capable of accompanying moments of celebration and a high-level table. The base is the Sangiovese from Montalcino, interpreted in a fine, complex style with a solid structure.

Territory and wine style

The Tenuta Pian delle Vigne is located south of Montalcino, in an area historically suited for Brunello, characterized by vineyards predominantly exposed to the southeast, on clayey and limestone soils with fine skeleton. The name of the estate recalls an old 19th-century railway station located within the property. In this context, the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva Vigna Ferrovia expresses an authentic character, with the typical freshness of Sangiovese and a refined tannic texture, made more harmonious by the conditions of the 2016 vintage.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep ruby red color, enhanced by slight garnet reflections. The bouquet is complex and intense: ripe plum, marasca, dried lavender flowers, sandalwood, Mediterranean scrub herbs, and hints of cocoa, cinnamon, and clove emerge. On the palate, the wine is rich and compact, with silky and well-integrated tannins, supported by a lively freshness that provides balance and momentum. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, with returns of leather, tobacco, marasca, and balsamic nuances.

Recommended pairings

This Brunello di Montalcino pairs effectively with structured and flavorful dishes. It is ideal with braised meats, important fillets, game, roasted lamb, long-cooked cuts of meat, and stewed game. Excellent also with rich first courses, such as pappardelle with hare ragù or pici with meat sauce, and with aged hard cheeses. Its elegance makes it suitable for an important dinner, where the wine can take center stage.

Serving temperature

Serve the Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Ferrovia 2016 at a temperature between 16 and 18 °C. Considering the structure and the Jeroboam format, it is advisable to open it a little in advance to promote oxygenation and allow the bouquet to express itself more fully.
