2012 TOP 50 WINES - Rank #41
The 2007 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino 'Pianrosso' is elegant and refined offering aromas of blackberry, ripe strawberry, spices, floral, vanilla and fresh mineral. Pure and focused with an amazing silky yet firm structure. This finishes up pretty, leaving a long lasting impression. The 100% Sangiovese Grosso spent 36 months in 20-62 HL Slovenian oak barrels, followed by a minimum of 8 month period of bottle aging. This is a beautiful Brunello that should evolve gracefully with time. (Best 2015-2026) - December, 2012 (JD)
