"Piancornello's 2013 Rosso di Montalcino is powerful and intense, as wines from this part of Montalcino often are. Savory and ferrous notes dominate in an expressive Rosso built for the dinner table. Dark stone fruit, iron, lavender and smoke notes round out the tightly wound finish. Ideally the 2013 should be cellared for at least another 6-12 months or at the very least given an hour or two of aeration if opened young. This is a gorgeous Rosso with real pedigree and fabulous overall balance."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
Tuscany's signature red, giving high-acid, savory wines of sour cherry, herbs and firm tannin. It is the backbone of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscans.
