Pian delle Vigne, crafted by the historic Antinori family, represents a masterful expression of Brunello di Montalcino. Acquired by the Antinori family in 1995, the estate takes its name from a charming 19th-century railway station located within its boundaries. This 100% Sangiovese (Brunello) wine is born from clay-calcareous soils rich in skeleton (small stones) situated south of Montalcino, which impart a signature mineral complexity and refined structure. Following traditional Brunello regulations, the wine undergoes meticulous fermentation followed by aging in large oak casks (botti) rather than small barriques, preserving the pure, vibrant cherry fruit, savory herbs, and earthy undertones characteristic of the region's terroir. The Antinori family's centuries-old winemaking heritage shines through in this elegant, deeply complex red that beautifully balances power and grace.
🍾 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.
