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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers' Guild, Marchesi Antinori has been shaped by twenty-six generations of family leadership. Headquartered in the heart of Chianti Classico, the family has expanded its portfolio across prestigious estates in Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, driven by a philosophy that balances deep historical respect with bold innovation. Antinori famously pioneered the "Super Tuscan" movement in the 1970s, introducing revolutionary French oak aging and international varieties to create iconic labels like Tignanello and Solaia. Today, their diverse portfolio spans from the elegant Sangiovese of Badia a Passignano to the acclaimed white blend Cervaro della Sala, cementing their legacy as global ambassadors of Italian fine wine.
