Few names in Montalcino command as much respect as Ciacci Piccolomini, and Pianrosso is their crown jewel. Sourced from the estate’s best vineyard, a southwest-facing site with galestro-rich soils, this single-cru Brunello is crafted only in top vintages. The 2020 growing season, marked by warm days and cool nights, produced a wine of depth, structure, and striking balance—classic in every sense.

Dark cherry and plum are at the core, layered with dried rose, tobacco, and hints of Mediterranean herbs. The tannins are firm yet impeccably polished, giving the wine both immediate appeal and serious aging potential. Aged for nearly three years in large Slavonian oak casks, Pianrosso retains purity and finesse while developing remarkable complexity. Compared to the estate’s regular Brunello, this is deeper, more structured, and built for the long haul.

A must-have for collectors, this will evolve beautifully over the next 20+ years. Decant if opening young, or cellar to watch its layers unfold. Best paired with bistecca Fiorentina, truffle pasta, or slow-braised meats, it’s Brunello at its most refined and age-worthy.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"Freshly split pine, tobacco and stone dust gives way to dried strawberries and mint nuances as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso slowly blossoms in the glass. Silken and serene, this excels through its acidity, cool-toned and fresh, enlivening the 2020s core of rich wild berry fruits. Hints of blood orange add further gravitas as it finishes with a surprisingly juicy character, leaving edgy tannins and a pleasantly bitter concentration. This wild child will require cellaring to come fully into focus, yet I'm incredibly excited to revisit it in another three to five years." -Vinous

Wine Enthusiast

WE 95
"Bold and concentrated, the 2020 Pianrosso offers pronounced aromas of dark spice, camphor, dried herb, citrus and wild berry that mingle with new leather. On the powerfully built, savory palate, tightly woven, close-grained tannins envelop liquor-soaked cherry, orange peel, licorice and tobacco before closing on a note recalling almond liqueur. Fresh acidity keeps it lifted."
