Antinori Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino 2020 750ml

Pian delle Vigne is the Antinori family's estate in Montalcino, a few kilometers south of the town on slopes above the Val d'Orcia.

The 2020 is 100% Sangiovese. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in steel, followed by about two years in large oak casks. Brunello rules require release no earlier than five years after harvest, with at least two years in wood. It is 14% alcohol and sealed with a natural cork.

Expect intense ruby with garnet tints, aromas of flowers, red berries, blackberry, cocoa, pepper, clove, coffee and tobacco, then a full, velvety palate and a warm, spicy finish.

Against Banfi Brunello di Montalcino 2020, Pian delle Vigne is the Antinori estate's single Brunello aged in large casks; for a 2020 Brunello to lay down for a special occasion, choose Pian delle Vigne.

It will be at its best after a few more years in the cellar and should hold well into the 2040s. Decant it if you open it now.
