Production of Vignaferrovia Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 3.0l in HK - Pian delle Vigne

The grapes come from carefully selected sites near the historic railway line that gives the wine its name. The vineyards around Pian delle Vigne are situated in the hilly landscape of Montalcino, where warm days and cooler nights allow for slow, even ripening. The soils consist of a mixture of limestone, clay, and stony scree, lending the grape variety structure, minerality, and aromatic clarity.

The harvest is carried out selectively and by hand, ensuring that only perfectly ripe, flawless grapes reach the cellar. A strict initial selection takes place in the vineyard before a further sorting is carried out at the winery on the sorting table. This precise handling of the Sangiovese Grosso grape provides the foundation for the exceptional quality of this Riserva.

The must ferments slowly under controlled conditions, allowing color, tannins, and aromas to be gently extracted from the grape skins. The wine then spends an extended period maturing in large wooden casks, where its character becomes more refined and harmonious. Aging in oak lends additional depth, spicy accents, and elegant structure without overpowering the fruit.

After maturation in cask, the wine undergoes a further period of bottle aging, during which the individual components come together into a harmonious whole. In the double-magnum bottle, the wine develops particularly slowly, preserving remarkable freshness and tension. Vignaferrovia Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 3.0l in HK - Pian delle Vigne thus displays an impressive balance between power, elegance, and maturity.

The style of Tenuta Pian delle Vigne, part of the renowned Antinori family, combines traditional Brunello craftsmanship with modern precision. The focus is on clarity, terroir expression, and timeless elegance. Each bottle presents the essence of Brunello di Montalcino, finely interpreted and crafted with great respect for its origin and grape variety.
