It prances out of the glass with scents of stewed plums, warm cassis, bay leaves and cedar chest. Suggestions of cinnamon stick and sandalwood with a waft of tobacco leaf rounds out the nose.

Producer Information
Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona is an estate in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, Tuscany. It is known for its Brunello di Montalcino wines which have been well-received by critics and highly awarded. Giuseppe Bianchini inherited the estate in 1985 and with his two sons, transformed the estate into a top producer of Montalcino. The construction of the Molinello winery was completed in the late 90s. It compliments the historic Palazzo cellar of which is used for preserving the oldest vintages produced by the company. The wine portfolio is led with three different Brunellos. The Pianrosso cuve is sourced from the 12 hectare (29-acre) vineyard of the same name. Fermented in stainless steel and glass-lined concrete vats it is aged for 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks. The Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro Riserva comes from the same vineyard, but spends longer in oak and bottle before release, only produced in exceptional vintages. Ciacchi Piccolomini's 'standard' Annata wine is sourced from the estate's Brunello vineyards and is aged in barrel for 24 months. Alongside Brunello, two Sant'Antimo DOC wines and a Brunello grappa are also included in the portfolio.
