More questions
The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Tenuta Pian delle Vigne, by Marchesi Antinori, is presented in magnum format and offered in a wooden case. This red wine shows a measured, terroir-driven personality, intended to be enjoyed over time or shared on special occasions. In the glass it displays a nuanced aromatic profile with hints of ripe red fruit, light balsamic notes and a discreet spicy component; the structure is supported by present yet polished tannins that give clarity to the sip without weighing it down.
On the palate it is balanced and of good persistence, with a progression that harmoniously alternates freshness and warmth. It pairs well with traditional Tuscan dishes, red meats and aged cheeses; the magnum format and wooden case also make it suitable as a gift or for those who wish to cellar it for slow evolution. A refined, composed offering consistent with the style of Tenuta Pian delle Vigne and the Antinori family.

The story
The estate’s winemaking origins are linked to the noble Della Gherardesca family (vineyards since the late 17th century). The property entered the Antinori holdings in the 1930s; the estate’s modern winemaking development took place from the late 1980s–1990s. First documented vintage of Vermentino at the estate: 1996.
Production philosophy
To express the Bolgheri terroir through parcel selection, experimentation in the vineyard and cellar, and practices focused on quality and respect for the territory.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Bolgheri DOC (Upper Maremma) on a plain encircled by gentle hills known as the “Bolgheri Amphitheatre.” Climate is moderated by sea breezes; alluvial soils range from sandy-clay to silty-clay with fine gravel (Bolgheri agglomerate), influencing the character of varieties grown (Cabernet, Merlot, Vermentino, etc.).
