The 2021 Pianrosso expresses the riper, more concentrated side of Sangiovese, a style reinforced by the naturally powerful site and warm vintage conditions. Alcohol reaches 15.5%, testament to the sunny 2021 growing season. The Pianrosso vineyard spans 11.69 hectares with Eocene marl-rich soils at altitudes between 240 and 360 meters, giving the wine its distinctive character. The wine ages roughly 36 months in Slavonian oak, followed by over eight months of bottle refinement. It presents intense, complex, fruit-forward aromas with spicy notes and hints of ripe red berries, moving to a warm, soft, and harmonious palate with pronounced tannins balanced by fresh acidity.

"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. Drink 2029–2041." —Kerin O'Keefe
