Pian Delle Vigne Antinori 2020 is a modern and polished Brunello di Montalcino from the Antinori family`s estate, located south of the town on clay-rich soils. The 2020 vintage produced wines of great balance and approachability, featuring a lush profile of black cherry, plum and subtle notes of tobacco and cocoa. Winemaking involves ageing in large oak casks to ensure the Sangiovese Grosso fruit remains primary while the tannins achieve a silky, integrated texture. This Brunello is known for its reliability and elegance, offering a broader and more supple palate than the high-altitude sites to the north. It is a sophisticated expression of Montalcino, providing immediate drinking pleasure while maintaining the capacity for mid-term ageing.

Dried black cherries and crushed plums mix with cocoa, sage and dried orange peels as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino emerges from the glass. This displays incredible vibrancy within. It’s juicy and spry, with ripe red and black fruits elevated by brilliant acidity as nuances of sour citrus add further tension toward the close. The 2020 leaves the palate stained in primary concentration and a coating of fine tannins, tapering off spicy and long yet still lively as hints of tart raspberry keep the mouth watering for more. Recent vintages from Pian delle Vigne have delightful new energy and verve.Eric Guido1st November 2024

Mid ruby. Still compact and a little closed on the nose. Very slowly, concentrated cherry-fruit notes emerge. Lots of juice and fruit on the palate. Generous fruit finish with attractive gravelly tannins. Completely ready now. (WS)

An Antinori Icon

While technically a wine rather than a winery, Marchesi Antinori's flagship red wine, Supertuscan Tignanello, has become an icon in its own right. Produced from the Tignanello estate, this wine is one of Italy’s most recognized and celebrated fine wines. Tignanello is a blend of mostly Sangiovese wines with lesser parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, showcasing the Antinori family's mastery in winemaking.

Situated in the heart of Chianti Classico, in the gently rolling hillsides between the Greve and Pesa river valleys, the Tenuta Tignanello vineyard produces these influential wines. Tignanello was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first contemporary red wine blended with untraditional varieties (specifically Cabernet), and one of the first red wines in the Chianti Classico region not to use white grapes. This innovation has made it a modern red wine that stands out among its peers.

The Antinori estate also produces a superb Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon Grappa, a full-bodied Bordeaux-style red called Guado al Tasso, and delicate yet refined white wines from Castello della Sala, adding to its portfolio of iconic wines. The legacy of the Antinori family is evident in every bottle of these exceptional Italian wines.
