Rosso di Montalcino 2023: The freshness of Sangiovese from Pian delle Vigne

Located 6 km south-west of Montalcino, the estate extends for 184 hectares, of which 83 are under vineyards, on limestone-clay soils perfect for enhancing the qualities of the vine. This wine expresses freshness, pleasantness and great drinkability, embodying the Antinori family's personal vision of a prestigious territory.

Vintage and Climate

The 2023 vintage was characterized by a dry winter followed by a mild spring. The sprouting of the vines occurred with a slight delay, but the subsequent warm and dry climate favored the production of healthy grapes with smaller and more concentrated berries. Some rains in August accelerated the ripening processes, allowing the grapes to be harvested slightly earlier than average and in optimal conditions to guarantee a high quality product.

Winmaking and Aging

After the harvest, the grapes were destemmed and gently pressed. The alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25°C for 8-10 days, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then aged for approximately 10 months, developing a perfect balance between freshness and complexity, before being bottled and placed on the market.
