Marchesi Antinori 2004 Pian delle Vigne (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Tuscany
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso
Winery: Marchesi Antinori / Pian delle Vigne

Pian delle Vigne’s 2004 Brunello is worlds apart from the scorching hot 2003 vintage—so different, in fact, the wine seems utterly reborn. You can smell those hallmark Sangiovese aromas: cherry, blue flower and wet earth, and taste the variety’s elegant acidity.
