Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2007 750mL 16

The Brunello Riserva is a result of careful selections of the Pianrosso grape in the vineyards followed by a long maceration in our wine cellars.

Grape Varietals: 

100% Sangiovese

Tasting Notes:

The bouquet is intense and complex: fruit-forward, spicy and ethereal, with hints of red berries and various spices. Warm, harmonic with pronounced and soft tannins. A fullbodied wine with a very long aftertaste. A Brunello that can be refined in the bottle for many years.

Colour:

Ruby red verging on garnet

Food pairings:

Excellent with roasted and game meat. Enjoyable with mature cheeses or as a meditation wine.

97 Points - James Suckling, "A red with sliced meat, dark chocolate, berry and spice. Full body, silky tannins and a tangy finish. A harmonious and beautiful wine. THis is so layered and fabulous. So wonderful. These riserva Brunellos from Ciacci are always phenomenal. Drink now."

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, "The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro is big, rich and seamless. The wine had just been bottled the day of my visit, but it is very promising, even at this early stage. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027."

93 Points - Wine Spectator, "Brilliant strawberry and raspberry fruit up front is matched by burly tannins on the finish, but the long and harmonious finish shows the potential of this red. Silky and detailed, with tobacco, spice and a hint of balsamic lingering on the aftertaste. Best from 2015 through 2030. 1,660 cases made."
