Antinori (Pian Vigne), Brunello Montalcino other_regions_italy with an opaque bluish/purple colorA lean, savory version, whose cherry, iron, tobacco and underbrush flavors play into the dusty tannins, pushing the fruit to the background. The aromas are the best feature. This doesn't offer the fruit of the best in the vintage, but is solid. Best from 2022 through 2033. 14,300 cases made, 2,500 cases imported. BS
