Description	The philosophy oriented towards the large barrel, capable of preserving the extraordinary integrity of the Sangiovese fruit and giving Brunello its characteristic vibrant elegance, finds an extraordinary expression in Brunello Pian delle Vigne. Pian delle Vigne represents the personal and profound interpretation of the Marchesi Antinori of a prestigious and traditional wine such as Brunello. The company has been owned by the Antinori family since 1995, the year of the first harvest of Brunello Pian delle Vigne. The 2017 vintage will be remembered for the generally warm and dry climate, both during the winter and during the spring and summer. These climatic conditions favored early budding, limited the vegetative development of the vine and reduced the size of the bunches, which at the time of the harvest were perfectly intact and healthy. Agronomic management and frequent soil cultivation have allowed us to get the most out of the small water reserves present in the soil, making them available to the plants. The rains at the beginning of September slightly lowered temperatures and guaranteed beneficial refreshment for the vines, favoring a fairly balanced and regular conclusion to the ripening. The harvest began at the beginning of September and ended on the 26th of the same month, slightly earlier than the historical average.
Origin	Tuscany
Winemaking and Refinement	Upon arrival at the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and softly pressed and then transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place. Maceration lasted about fifteen days at a temperature of 28 °C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was transferred to oak barrels of between 30 and 80 hl where it began its maturation process in wood. After more than two years, Pian delle Vigne left the large barrel to begin its long refinement in the bottle.
Color	Pian delle Vigne 2017 has an intense ruby red color.
Perfume	The nose is complex, characterized by notes of ripe red fruit and small hints of plum and date; the bouquet is completed by sensations of Mediterranean herbs with floral hints of violet and a light spicy hint of ginger and chilli chocolate.
Taste	On the palate the entry is soft and silky. The wine shows balance, harmony and pleasantness, with a pleasant freshness capable of giving persistence and flavor. Notes of licorice and cocoa, together with ripe red fruits, outline the aftertaste.
