Antinori Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino 2021 – Classic Sangiovese from the heart of Tuscany

Antinori Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino 2021 is an elegant and characterful Italian red wine that combines freshness, finesse and true Tuscan terroir. It’s 100% Sangiovese from Montalcino – created by the iconic Marchesi Antinori winery – in a style that is both immediately charming and serious in its expression.

Rosso di Montalcino is often known as Brunello’s little brother, but in the hands of Antinori it becomes anything but a compromise. This 2021 vintage delivers juiciness, structure and balance in beautiful harmony. A perfect Italian red wine for those who want quality from Montalcino but don’t want to wait decades to open the bottle.

The wine is aged in large oak barrels, preserving the natural freshness and aromatic profile of Sangiovese. The result is a wine that is pure, precise and terroir-driven – with a clear reference to the chalky soils and warm climate of southern Tuscany.

Vintage 2021 – Perfect conditions in Montalcino

2021 was an excellent vintage in Montalcino. A mild winter and hot, dry summer produced healthy, concentrated grapes, while cool nights and rain at the end of the season ensured slow ripening and great aromatic complexity. This is evident in the wine’s balance of fruit, acidity and tannin.

Tasting notes

Aroma: Intense and inviting with notes of cherry, raspberry and a hint of violet.

Taste: Juicy red berries, fine spices and an elegant minerality. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, and the finish is long, fresh and harmonious. A wine with both charm and structure – ready to drink now, but with potential for years of development.

Serving: Perfect with pasta with tomato and fresh herbs, grilled meat, veal or mature cheeses. Serve at 16-18°C.

Pian delle Vigne – Antinori’s property in Montalcino

The Pian delle Vigne estate is located just six kilometers southwest of the historic town of Montalcino, surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards. Here, Sangiovese is grown at an altitude of around 130 meters in optimal conditions to create wines with depth and elegance.

Marchesi Antinori, one of Italy’s oldest and most prestigious wine families with roots dating back to 1385, took over the property in 1995. Since then, the house has produced both Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino, where tradition and modern precision go hand in hand. Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino 2021 is a great expression of this philosophy – classic Tuscan wine with international class.
