Description
When you say 'wine' in Italy, you say 'Antinori'! This family has been making wine for over six centuries. With respect for the traditions of the Tuscan countryside, 26 successive generations of Antinori have been involved in this. It is the eye for tradition and innovation that has made the Antinori house what it is today: the top of Italy.
The Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino aims to fully express the scent of pure Sangiovese, the historic grape variety of Montalcino. The vineyards are located on chalky clay soils which create a wine that is fresh, mineral in character and excellent to drink. The Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino is a lively ruby red in colour. The nose expresses pleasant aromas of red fruits, such as cherries and sour cherries, with light floral hints of violets and lavender. On the palate it is fresh, refined and savoury with supple, mouth-filling tannins; notable for its lush fruit and long finish. Very pleasant to drink.
Pian del Vigne Estate, located 6 kilometers southwest of the town of Montalcino, takes its name from a characteristic 19th century railway station within the estate's boundaries. The estate comprises 460 hectares (184 acres), of which 160 hectares (65 acres) are planted with vines with a generally south-westerly exposure at an altitude of 130 meters above sea level. Pian delle Vigne is Marchesi Antinori's personal and profound interpretation of a traditional prestigious wine such as Brunello di Montalcino. The estate has been owned by the Antinori family since 1995, the year of the first harvest of Pian delle Vigne Brunello.

More information about Antinori
Marquis Piero Antinori is in charge and is assisted by his three daughters: Albiera, Allegra and Alessia. Funny those three A's. We are not going to bother you with all the awards that have been received over the years, because then this price list can no longer go through the letterbox. There are two red wines that are available on allocation and that one would like to get a few bottles from all over the world and that are Tignanello and Solaia and we also have these in our range at Grandcruwijnen.
In 1180, Ugo and Antinori di Rinuccino were officially named as owners of Castello di Combiate; a century later, the family who had moved to Florence were included in the register of the silk trade cooperative. In 1385, Giovanni di Piero, an indirect descendant, entered the wine guild as an apprentice. Since then, the wine-growing tradition of the Antinori family has been continuous. With the establishment of the Marchesi Antinori winery, the peak was reached in 1895 and already in 1898 the winery was built in San Casciano Val di Pesa, which is still the center of the widely branched group of properties in all major cultivation areas of Tuscany, Umbria. , Piemonte (since the early 90s through the purchase of the wine cellar Prunotto), Apulia and even California. The traditional house participating in the modern Tuscan wine-growing revolution owes much of its prestige to its former chief vinologist Giacomo Tachis, who produced exceptional wines such as Sassicaia, Tignanello (especially sangiovese), Solaia (especially cabernet) and many others. the other was responsible. Vinologist Renzo Cotarella also created one of the best chardonnays in Italy in the Umbrian Castello della Sala.
