More questions
The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Pieri Agostina winery is a true expression of the Montalcino terroir, renowned for its robust and long-lived wines. This wine is produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, which are handpicked in the vineyards located in the highest and sunniest areas of this region in Tuscany. A careful selection of grapes and a winemaking process that follows traditional methods yet incorporates modern technologies, results in a wine of exceptional quality.
After fermentation, Pieri Agostina's Brunello di Montalcino matures for at least four years, including two years in oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop its complexity and structure. The result is a wine with a deep ruby red color, which tends to garnet as it ages. On the nose, it opens with rich scents of ripe fruit, such as cherries and plums, enriched by nuances of spices, tobacco, and leather.
On the palate, Brunello di Montalcino offers a solid and well-balanced structure, with robust yet harmonious tannins. Its excellent acidity and the persistence of flavors make it an ideal companion for rich meat dishes, such as roasts and game, but also aged cheeses. It is recommended to decant the wine at least one hour before serving to enhance all its qualities.
This wine not only reflects the excellence of the territory from which it originates but also represents the commitment of Pieri Agostina Winery in producing wines that continue to improve over time. Thus, the Brunello di Montalcino is an excellent choice for wine lovers seeking deep and memorable tasting experiences.

The story
The company's origins date back to the family vineyards established in the 1970s; the winery's current path took shape in 1991 with Agostina Pieri and later under the management of the new generation. The first official production took place in the early 1990s, and the winery has since grown into a small but well-regarded presence within the Montalcino appellation.
Production philosophy
Production focused on respect for the territory and Sangiovese: hand-harvested fruit, careful grape selection and cellar work designed to convey concentration and finesse. The winery treats Rosso di Montalcino with the same care as Brunello, favoring gentle extraction and aging in large casks and used oak when necessary.
Terroir and vineyards
Based in Piancornello, on the southern slopes of the Montalcino area. The vineyards are divided into south-facing parcels overlooking the Maremma and Monte Amiata.
Awards and recognition
Among its notable accolades, one vintage of the winery's Rosso di Montalcino earned Gambero Rosso's "Tre Bicchieri" rating; the winery is also mentioned in international guides and magazines.
