More questions
The Rosso di Montalcino DOC in Magnum format, presented in a wooden case from Tenuta Pian delle Vigne by Marchesi Antinori, is a territorial wine intended for sharing. It shows a bright ruby colour and offers aromas of ripe red fruit, delicate floral hints and a touch of spice that balance the aromatic profile. On the palate it maintains pleasant freshness, tannins that are present yet integrated, and a harmonious structure that makes it smooth and enjoyable, with a restrained and agreeable persistence without reference to any single vintage.
The Magnum size and wooden case make it suitable for convivial occasions and a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate Tuscan tradition. It pairs well with roasted meats, grilled dishes and medium-aged cheeses; serving around 16–18 °C is recommended. Proper storage and service enhance its character, allowing for an immediate, unfussy drinking experience or a short cellar rest according to personal preference.

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.).
