Pian dell'Orino Vigneti del Versante Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Its character, always different yet clearly identifiable, takes life in contrasts and tensions which, from time to time, develop amongst its many facets. Like an orchestra seeking pure intonation, the greatest challenge is the attainment of a complex harmony apt to leaving a striking impression.

96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Vigneti del Versante is a sophisticated and complex expression of Sangiovese from a vintage that, in my opinion, was uneven across the appellation. Pian dell'Orino is one of the estates that knew how to best interpret the growing season. This wine (with 7,459 bottles and larger formats produced) offers delicate berry tones with sweet spice and iris root. The tannins are sweet and hydrated, giving this wine immediate appeal.
