Tasting notes
Antinori's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a highly representative wine from the Camigliano district. Soft, fruity and open, the 2010 will drink well early and hold for another decade or so. This is a decidedly round, succulent Brunello with considerable immediacy.

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne is a well-built wine that shows the muscular side of this celebrated star of Tuscan winemaking. The Brunello opens to a thick, dark appearance with shapely aromas of dark cherry, plum, blackberry, leather dark chocolate and spice. The winemaking is impeccable, if rather stylized in terms of oak and fruit maturity. The aim here is to produce a wine the oozes softness and richness and this goal has been abundantly achieved. Pian delle Vigne is a Brunello that will excel in both the near and long term.
Dark ruby with orange tinges. Pumpernickel and hints of dark fruit. Sweet palate, but the fruit is a little numb. Firm, drying tannins and a little stewed and sweet on the finish. (WS)
