Here, thanks to the altitude and optimal sun exposure, the grapes reach perfect ripeness, producing a Brunello of remarkable harmony and structure. It is a full-bodied yet always balanced wine, where freshness and complexity coexist in equilibrium, an authentic expression of the Pian dell’Orino terroir.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2017 vintage was characterized by hot and dry weather, which favored an early ripening of the grapes. However, careful vineyard management and canopy control allowed for healthy and concentrated bunches. The result is an intense Brunello, with a decisive yet never excessive character, featuring ripe fruity notes and perfectly integrated tannins.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe grapes are rigorously hand-picked to select only the best bunches. Fermentation is spontaneous, thanks to indigenous yeasts already present on the skins, and takes place at a controlled temperature. Maceration lasts about 20 days, during which the must remains in contact with the skins to extract color and substance.\nAging continues for \u003cstrong\u003e42 months in large oak barrels of 12.5 hectoliters\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental step to give the wine elegance and depth, smoothing the tannins and enriching the bouquet with refined tertiary notes.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIt presents a deep ruby red color, tending slightly towards garnet with evolution in the bottle—a distinctive sign of great Brunello. The brightness of the color reveals the wine's freshness and vitality.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe aroma is complex and ever-changing: notes of ripe cherry and plum give way to hints of sweet spices, tobacco, undergrowth, and a slight balsamic touch. A broad fragrance that reflects the typicality of Sangiovese grown in Montalcino.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is elegant and profound, with a significant structure but perfectly balanced by freshness. The \u003cstrong\u003etannins\u003c\/strong\u003e – natural substances that determine the sensation of astringency – are fine and harmonious, contributing to a great persistence of flavor. It finishes with notes of red fruit and spices, with a long and enveloping finish.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings for Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 'Vigneti del Versante' 2017 - Pian dell'Orino\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis Brunello pairs excellently with rich and structured dishes from Italian tradition.
