Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2011

Don't let the firm tannins fool you, the 2005 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano is a stratospheric wine. It is one of the most powerful, intense and brooding wines of the vintage yet everything is miraculously in place. Dark cherries, licorice, new leather and flowers gradually emerge from a wall of unyielding tannins. With time in the glass the wine's inner perfume gradually emerges. Smoke, tar, scorched earth and a host of dark, brooding flavors mark the long, powerful finish. Readers will need to be patient here, but the 2005 Madonna del Piano will deliver the goods. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035.

About Winery

Martini Bramante bought the property in 1953 and began bottling "Brunello Valdicava" in 1968. Located in the Montosoli area of Montalcino, the latitude is 43 degress, the Monte Amiata provides a protective barrier, and the nearby Tirrean Sea brings warmth, as well as breezes. The result is wines with great balance of body and aromas. Bramante's grandson, Vincenzo Abbruzzese, now runs the show.
