Brunello di Montalcino Vigneti del Versante DOCG 2019 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Brunello di Montalcino Vigneti del Versante DOCG 2019 1500ml Magnum by Pian Dell’Orino

The 2019 Vigneti del Versante is a triumph of precision and a textbook example of the renaissance of classical Brunello style. Pian Dell’Orino once again underscores his reputation as one of Montalcino’s most intellectually rigorous producers. In the magnum bottle, this Sangiovese presents itself with an almost aristocratic composure, masterfully balancing power and elegance – a wine that captivates not through sheer force, but through depth and transparency.

Colour & Appearance

A clear, luminous garnet red with brilliant reflections and considerable viscosity.

Nose

The bouquet captivates with a cool, precise fruit of sour cherry and blood orange, interwoven with floral notes of dried violets as well as subtle hints of graphite, tobacco and damp earth.

Palate

On the palate, the brilliance of the exceptional 2019 vintage reveals itself: taut, fine-grained tannins meet a vibrant acidity structure. The texture is silky, almost ethereal, with a dense core of aromas featuring red forest berries, leather and a delicate spice.

Finish

Impressively long and focused, the wine concludes with a distinctive saline minerality that invites the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

Sourced from exposed vineyard sites in Montalcino, characterised by calcareous marl and clay soils, cultivated under strict biodynamic principles.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Sangiovese. Gentle spontaneous fermentation and extended ageing in large Slavonian oak barrels preserve the purity and terroir profile.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Excellent with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised lamb shoulder with rosemary or refined dishes featuring black truffle.

Special Features

The magnum format guarantees slower maturation and even more complex development of this age-worthy wine with potential for decades to come.
