Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso 2021 (1.5L)

$22999

Pianrosso is Ciacci Piccolomini's flagship single-vineyard Brunello, from medium-grain marl soils at varying altitudes. The 2021 reveals itself through aromas of red cherry, dried strawberry, and plum, layered with cedar, sandalwood, and balsamic complexity. The palate is tight and rich with chewy power that speaks to old-vine Sangiovese and slow-building elegance. This magnum format is perfect for collectors: a wine that will age gracefully and reveal new faces over the next decade. Arriving March 2026.

Robert Parker

"Dark and richly textured, this expression opens with ripe fruit nuances, sweet plum and baking spice. The Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso is unapologetic about ripeness and the more concentrated side of Sangiovese, a style reinforced by the warm growing conditions of the vintage and the naturally powerful Pianrosso site. There is so much richness and phenolic texture here that it recalls warm years such as 2017 or 2019. The tannins are soft, the alcohol is high at 15.5%, and production stands at 43,000 bottles, including larger formats." —Monica Larner

"Aromas of new leather, spiced black plum, violet and camphor unfold on the bold and beautiful 2021 Brunello Pianrosso. Combining power and restraint, the full-bodied palate delivers layers of ripe Morello cherry, raspberry jam, licorice and fine tobacco blend before a spiced orange zest close. Velvety, enveloping tannins provide seamless support." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona

Ciacci Piccolomini is a bastion of traditional farming and winemaking, though there is an elegance and a purity of fruit that stands it apart from its peers. They have some of the best sites in the Castelnuovo dell’Abate zone, including the iron rich ‘Pianrosso’ vineyard. Grapes are hand harvested from the perfectly oriented southeast slopes where vines are organically farmed.
