Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2010

The estate's 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso possesses striking depth as endless layers of sweet perfumed fruit emerge with tons of grace. This too is an intense full-bodied wine. The balance here is utterly...

Aromas of dried flowers, cocoa and sweetly fragrant red flowers sit fresh, ahead of gentle leather and dried red cherries. Add to this a more savory thread on the palate and this has plenty still to offer. Drink over the...

Wine Spectator, January 2009

Very fruity aromas of raspberry plum and fresh flowers lead to a full-bodied palate with round soft tannins and lots of juicy delicious fruit. Very attractive. Hard not to drink it now. Best from 2010 through 2015. 4400...

Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona is a premiere wine estate located on the southwest side of the Montalcino municipality in Castelnuovo dell’Abate. It covers a vast area of 170 hectares, encircled by vineyards, olive groves, woods, grain and pasture lands, at an altitude of 790 to 1,200 feet. The history of the estate dates back to the 17th century when the Palazzo, the oldest part of the property, was built by Montalcino’s bishop, Fabivs de’ Vecchis of Sant’ Antimo Abbey.

Due to its strategic position and ideal microclimate, the Pianrosso Vineyard is the best expression of the estate. It is the source of the best grapes for the Brunello Pianrosso and Brunello Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso wines.

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.
