LA TENUTA CIACCI PICCOLOMINI D’ARAGONA

The Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona estate is located on the south east slope of the municipality of Montalcino, close to the medieval village of Castelnuovo dell’Abate and to the famous Romanesque Abbey of Sant’Antimo, which dates back to the 11th century.
The entire estate, extending over 220 hectares of which 55.5 are in vines and 40 in olive groves, has all the typical characteristics of the Tuscan countryside adorned with rolling hills, pastures and woods with unforgettable colours.

Set between Arna hill and the Orcia River to the south-east, it offers a unique panorama with the beautiful contour of Mount Amiata in the background. Wild animals, scents of flowers and plants and the typical farmhouses dotted around, create a peaceful and calm atmosphere in this area.

BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO PIANROSSO

This wine is produced only in the best vintages from a careful selection of grapes from the Pianrosso vineyard and it has always been our most representative wine.

From this single vineyard we also select the grapes for our Brunello Riserva

In stainless steel and glass concrete vats, temperature-controlled via cooling plates and jackets.

Ageing

Roughly 36 months in 20 – 62 hl Slavonian oak barrels, followed by over 8 months of bottle refinement.

Organoleptic characteristics

• Colour is ruby red verging on garnet.
• The bouquet is intense, complex, fruit-forward and spicy with hints or ripe red berry fruits enriched by various spicy notes.
• Warm, soft and harmonic on the palate. Great balance among pronounced tannins, acidity and savouriness. This elegant wine has great potential for further cellar ageing.
