THE WINE
The Rosso di Montalcino DOC, Pian delle Vigne, of Antinori is a dynamic red and elegant, harmonious and persistent. Born just a few kilometers south of Montalcino, above the Val d'Orcia, and takes its name from the historical railroad station of the nineteenth century, situated in the property.
An intense and luminous ruby red in color, the wine shows a complex nose of cherries, plums, and red berry fruit. The palate is vigorous and vibrant, and a lovely acidic vein fused with much flavor make this and ample and balanced wine. The finish and aftertaste are persistent and lingering.
Winter was characterized by mild temperatures and by frequent rains. The growing season began slightly earlier than usual and continued with cool weather. Frequent summer rainfall and lower than normal temperatures led to slight delays in the ripening of the grapes, which were then recovered during the first two weeks of September. Given this improvement in the weather and a careful manual selection of the grapes during the harvest, the crop arrived in the cellars in good condition.
The grapes were given a light pressing and the extraction during the fermentation took place at temperatures around 77° Fahrenheit (25° centigrade). The period of skin contact lasted between eight and ten days. After the fermentation and the subsequent malolactic fermentation, the wine aged in large oak casks for twelve months.
The Pian delle Vigne estate, located six kilometers to the south of the town of Montalcino above the Orcia river valley, has belonged to the Antinori family since 1995. It takes its name from a typical railroad station of the 19th century situated within the estate’s confines and still in use. The total surface area of the Pian delle Vigne estate is 184 hectares (470 acres), 65 of which (over 160 acres) are planted to vines; there are two hectares (five acres) of olive groves and 117 hectares of woods.
The vineyards. The total surface area of the Pian delle Vigne estate is 184 hectares (470 acres), 65 of which (over 160 acres) are planted to vines; there are two hectares (five acres) of olive groves and 117 hectares of woods. The entire vineyard is planted to Sangiovese (known locally as “Brunello”), the altitude varies from 130 meters to 250 meters (430 to 825 feet) above sea level, and the exposure is prevalently southeast. The soil is principally clayey and calcareous and is rich in stones. Approximately half of the vineyard was planted in 1996-1997, and these vines are now in excellentproductive balance and give wines of very highquality indeed; these “older” vineyards have been joined by 33 new hectares (82 acres) which will produce the new wines of the estate utilizing five Sangiovese clones from Montalcino along with Antinori selections of their finest Sangiovese. As a result of the temperate climate which prevails at Montalcino, the grapes in this township ripen a week or two earlier than those in Chianti Classico and this allows harvesting to begin in mid-September. In addition, the particular mineral richness of the soil give an even greater savor and elegance to the tannins of the wines, a quality which becomes even more perceptible with age.
