✨ Technical Specifications
Pian delle Vigne's 'Vigna Ferrovia' Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a profound expression of Sangiovese, born from a historic estate acquired by the legendary Antinori family in 1995. The vineyard itself is named after the nineteenth-century railway station located on the property, which still operates today, bridging Tuscan winemaking tradition with the romance of travel. Crafted only in exceptional vintages from a prized 6-hectare parcel characterized by clay-limestone soils rich in marine fossils and gravel, this 100% Sangiovese wine undergoes meticulous fermentation followed by over two years of aging in oak casks and extensive bottle refinement. The result is a majestic Riserva that balances power and grace, offering layers of dark cherry, leather, balsamic herbs, and sweet tobacco.
🍾 About the Producer
Marchesi Antinori is one of the world's most storied winemaking dynasties, tracing its commercial viticultural heritage to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori matriculated into Florence's Arte dei Vinattieri. Spanning twenty-six generations, the family revolutionized modern Italian viticulture under Marchese Piero Antinori and legendary enologist Giacomo Tachis, catalyzing the Super Tuscan revolution with the pioneering release of Tignanello in 1971. Antinori commands an unrivaled tapestry of microclimates across Central Italy, encompassing the galestro and albarese marls of Chianti Classico at Tenuta Tignanello and Badia a Passignano, the maritime gravels of Bolgheri at Guado al Tasso, and the fossiliferous clay-limestone soils of Umbria at Castello della Sala. In the cellar, CEO and chief enologist Renzo Cotarella orchestrates a balance of precision, clonal selection, and judicious French oak barrique maturation. Antinori's benchmark wines—including the Sangiovese-driven Tignanello, the Cabernet-dominated Solaia, and the benchmark Umbrian Chardonnay blend Cervaro della Sala—stand as definitive monuments of Italian winemaking refinement.
