Wine description for Brunello di Montalcino Vigneti del Versante DOCG 2020 1500ml Magnum by Pian Dell’Orino

Character

Pian Dell’Orino is among the biodynamically operated artisanal producers of Montalcino, dedicated to authenticity and uncompromising quality. The Vigneti del Versante represents the classic Tuscan Sangiovese interpretation – elegant, structured and of remarkable depth. The magnum bottle underscores the ageing potential of this Brunello and promises a slower, more harmonious development over the coming years.

Terroir & Origin

The vineyards of Pian Dell’Orino lie on the south-western slopes of Montalcino, where calcareous soils with Galestro and Alberese define the mineral precision of the wines. The year 2020 brought to Tuscany balanced climatic conditions with warm days and cool nights, offering ideal ripening conditions for the Sangiovese grape. The altitude and aspect of the vineyards ensure natural freshness and elegance, which are reflected in the wine.

Grape variety & Vinification

Sangiovese in its purest form – as required by the DOCG regulations for Brunello di Montalcino. Pian Dell’Orino works according to biodynamic principles with minimal intervention in the cellar. Traditional vinification with extended maceration and ageing in large wooden casks preserve the varietal fruit and fine tannin structure. The 2020 vintage displays the characteristic balance between power and finesse, between fruity intensity and earthy complexity, which distinguishes great Brunello.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This Brunello calls for Tuscan cuisine in its most honest form: Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragù or aged Pecorino Toscano. It also reveals its full class alongside beef roast with porcini mushrooms, braised lamb or pappardelle with hare ragù. The magnum size makes it the ideal companion for festive occasions and larger gatherings.
