2019 Pian dell'Orino Brunello 'Vigneti del Versante'
Varietal: sangiovese
Region: tuscany
100% Sangiovese Grosso from estate parcels on the southeastern slopes of Montalcino, including Scopeta, Cancello Rosso, and Bassolino di Sopra, planted between 320 and 500 m on clay-calcareous marl and flysch soils. Spontaneous fermentation in concrete with three weeks of maceration, followed by nearly four years of ageing in large oak barrels.
Expect aromas of wild berries, dried cherry, violets, and Mediterranean herbs unfold into layers of spice, blood orange, leather, and graphite. Firm yet silky tannins give structure to a long, mineral finish.
Producer: Pian dell’Orino, led by Caroline Pobitzer and Jan Hendrik Erbach, is one of Montalcino’s leading biodynamic producers. With vineyards adjacent to Biondi-Santi and an unwavering focus on terroir expression, the estate produces wines of precision, depth, and remarkable finesse.
