Note di degustazione
The 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva pours a medium garnet hue similar to the 2020, but the wine feels a touch more complete and harmonious. The nose is bright and savory, with anise, bergamot, dried Mediterranean herbs, and sweet spice all woven through the fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it has a focused line of acidity, ripe tannins, and a long, mouthwatering finish that stays energetic and fresh without turning austere. It should drink beautifully for 15 years or more. Drink 2026-2044.

I have not seen this wine in a few years. The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro offers a darkly concentrated approach with a bouquet built upon black fruit intensity, spice, earth and cured tobacco. I find the approach quite robust and heavy-handed. This vintage is especially concentrated and best recommended to those looking for this hearty style. The tannins come with a hint of dryness. Production is 18,600 bottles with some larger formats.
Dark, brooding and potent, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro Riserva is a force to be reckoned with. It launches from the glass with a burst of crushed blackberries, plums and exotic spices, further complicated by dried orange peels and cedar shavings. Velvety and weighty, this floods the palate with rich and enveloping textures. This retains a core of tantalizing and stabilizing acidity, with ripe red and black fruits that drench the senses. The 2019 tapers off with dramatic length and structure, leaving a framework of sweet tannins and resonance of salted licorice and mocha that lingers on.
