Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona is an estate situated in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, Tuscany. It is famous for its Brunello di Montalcino wines which have been well-received by critics and highly awarded. The wine portfolio is led with three different Brunellos. The Pianrosso cuvée is sourced from the 12 hectare Pianrosso vineyard where it is fermented in stainless steel and glass-lined concrete vats and aged for 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks. Similarly, the Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro Riserva comes from the same vineyard, but spends longer in oak and bottle before release. Ciacchi Piccolomini's 'standard' Annata wine is sourced from the estate's Brunello vineyards and is aged in barrel for 24 months.

Monica Larner

The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro is a fine and delicate wine that cleverly delivers the intensity of the vintage but without the heaviness or the ripeness. This wine holds back, just enough, to affirm its poised balance in terms of fruit richness, texture and tannic structure. It shows symmetry throughout. Dark cherry fruit, cassis, plum, lavender and campfire ash set the tone. The mouthfeel is thickly woven and generous, more so than the more linear and focused 2016 Brunello Pianrosso (that I preferred by a tiny margin). This special Riserva represents a 11,000-bottle production.
