Acquired by the historic Marchesi Antinori family in 1995, the Tenuta Pian delle Vigne estate is named after a characteristic 19th-century railway station located on the property, situated roughly six kilometers southwest of the town of Montalcino. Operating under a winemaking philosophy that respects the traditional typicity of the Sangiovese grape while utilizing the family's centuries-old blending expertise, the estate benefits from a unique microclimate. The low-lying heritage vines are rooted in clay-rich soils layered over limestone and riddled with small, heat-retaining stones, which naturally yield a Brunello known for its remarkable aromatic complexity and silky, accessible structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2007 Antinori 'Pian delle Vigne' Brunello di Montalcino presents a clear, dark ruby-red appearance in the glass, now showing an elegant brick-red and amber rim that reflects its beautiful maturity. Its sensory profile is exceptionally elegant, savory, and complex, opening with a bold, expressive bouquet of sweet red cherries, wild cranberries, and dried plum preserves, beautifully layered with mature, high-toned notes of sweet tobacco leaf, bresaola, dried forest floor, black tea, and a tangy hint of balsamic. On the palate, the wine is medium-to-full-bodied, harmonious, and remarkably supple, showcasing a velvety core of red liquorice, black cherries, and dark chocolate orange peel. It is characterized by its outstanding structural balance, maintaining a vibrant, refreshing backbone of natural acidity that effortlessly elevates its mature fruit weight. The mouthfeel is soft, rounded, and fully resolved, driven by thoroughly melted, fine-grained tannins that glide into a long, dry, and savory finish highlighted by lingering notes of sweet cedar, graphite, and a touch of roasted espresso bean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis authentic expression of the region is crafted from 100% Sangiovese (locally known as Brunello). The fruit was harvested at perfect maturity following a warm, generous growing season. In the cellar, the grapes underwent careful fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. To encourage slow micro-oxygenation and preserve the natural freshness of the single variety, the wine was matured for over two years in large traditional oak casks (\u003cem\u003ebotti\u003c\/em\u003e ranging from 3,000 to 8,000 liters) rather than small barriques, avoiding heavy wood extraction. The wine reached a well-integrated alcohol content (ABV) of 14.0% and was matured for an additional period in bottle prior to its commercial release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300146 - Mark Anthony Properties Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44030641668183,"sku":"837170","price":654.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/PiandelleVigne.jpg?v=1784053524","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/antinori-brunello-di-montalcino-pian-delle-vigne-2007-3-litre-bottle","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
