Intense, vibrant aromas of strawberries and raspberries, together with cola and flowery notes. Milk and mint nuances, too. Shows a lot of licorice elegance and blood-orange freshness on both the nose and palate with firm...

A bright orange/red color, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Pianorosso is very pretty on the nose, with notes of pomegranate, roses, potpourri, sweet herbs, and a hint of menthol. Medium-framed, it's elegant and...

Bold and concentrated, the 2020 Pianrosso offers pronounced aromas of dark spice, camphor, dried herb, citrus and wild berry that mingle with new leather. On the powerfully built, savory palate, tightly woven...

Vinous, November 2024

Freshly split pine, tobacco and stone dust gives way to dried strawberries and mint nuances as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso slowly blossoms in the glass. Silken and serene, this excels through its acidity...

Decanter, November 2024

Pianrosso is crafted from five contiguous iron-rich, Galestro plots rising from 240 to 360 metres above sea level, where vines average 37 years old. Clocking in at a whopping 15.5% alcohol, the 2020 is rather lavish...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, November 2024

The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso (with 43,000 bottles made along with some larger formats) is a little overdone in my opinion in terms of ripeness and its powerful 15.5% alcoholic...

Medicinal herbs lead the aromas on the 2020 Pianrosso, with geléed black raspberry and leather. The palate is rich and viscous, with the alcohol showing in a forward nature. While there are some very enjoyable elements of...

Wine Spectator, June 2025

A mix of fruity and savory elements, this red is supple and shows fine presence midpalate, evoking cherry, strawberry, tomato leaf and iron flavors. Ends with oak spice and earth accents. Best from 2027 through 2040. - BS

This wine, made with 100% Sangiovese Grosso, is the result of a careful selection of grapes from the Pianrosso vineyard and has always been the estate’s most representative wine.

The Pianrosso vineyard covers 11,69 hectares (29,22 acres) and is composed of medium-grain soil with good levels of marl, dating from the Eocene period. The wine is aged for 36 months in 20-62 hl Slavonian oak barrels, followed by a minimum of 8 months period of bottle ageing.

Brunello Pianrosso has a ruby red color verging towards garnet. The bouquet is intense, complex, fruit-forward and spicy with hints of ripe red berry fruits enriched by various spicy notes. Warm, soft and harmonic on the palate, it has great balance among pronounced tannins, acidity and savoriness. This elegant wine has good potential for further cellar ageing.
