Signed by \u003cstrong\u003eAntinori\u003c\/strong\u003e, it combines depth, elegance, and evolutionary capacity in a wine designed for those seeking a classic, rich, and harmonious Brunello, with a mature and refined profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTerritory and wine style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pian delle Vigne estate is located south of Montalcino, in a vocated area where the vineyard benefits from favorable exposures and a predominantly clayey soil, with small skeleton and limestone presence. This context contributes to giving the wine structure, balance, and a pronounced territorial identity. The 1997 vintage was particularly favorable from a qualitative point of view, with healthy and well-concentrated grapes, elements that favored a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG of great thickness and expressive solidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents itself with an intense ruby red color tending towards garnet, a sign of evolution and complexity. The bouquet is broad and articulated, with floral notes that integrate with hints of vanilla and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is structured, full, soft, and velvety, with a well-defined balance between substance, freshness, and tannic finesse. The sip is enveloping, deep, and refined by a very persistent finish, capable of leaving a long and satisfying sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs effectively with important second courses of Tuscan and Italian cuisine: Florentine steak, braised dishes, beef roasts, stewed game, stuffed capon, and aged cheeses.
