'Pian delle Vigne' Rosso di Montalcino DOC Antinori 2021

The Rosso di Montalcino DOC Pian delle Vigne from the Tuscan Antinori winery is the product of grapes carefully selected during the harvest. The vines are planted in the Pian delle Vigne estate a few kilometers south of Montalcino, where at an altitude ranging from 130 meters to 200 meters above sea level, there are just over 65 hectares of Sangiovese vineyards, the most important and historic grape of the whole area. It is precisely from the vinification of pure Sangiovese grapes that the Rosso di Montalcino DOC Pian delle Vigne is born. The result of several years of experimentation carried out on the vines, this wine is a product of excellent quality. The berries are harvested only and exclusively by hand, are softly pressed and then transferred to stainless steel tanks where fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, after which the wine is transferred for aging in rather large wooden barrels, where it matures for one year; it is subsequently bottled and placed on the market. The result is a balanced, structured and elegant red, perfect with combinations of meat from the local cuisine.
