Tasting notes
The 2015 Pian del Ciampolo (mostly Sangioveto with smaller parts Canaiolo and Colorino) is an easy-drinking wine with good harmony and a fresh, berry-driven approach. There is that same sense of intricate embroidery here like what you get with Le Pergole Torte and Montevertine, yet it is considerably watered down compared to those two watershed wines (both from the 2013 vintage). Alas, 2014 is a different story altogether and the wine is certainly leaner and shorter as a result. It's perfect for near-term drinking.

The 2014 Pian del Ciampolo is a very pretty, gracious wine to drink now and over the next few years. Weightless and airy in the glass, the 2014 is built on perfumed aromatics, bright red stone fruit and mid-weight structure. Naturally, in this vintage, the Pian del Ciampolo is a bit lighter than usual, but it has enough acidity to keep for at least a handful of years.
