Pian dell’Orino’s 2019 “Vigneti del Versante” is a biodynamic Brunello from Montalcino’s high-elevation eastern slopes. Vines grow on marl, clay, and volcanic soils across select estate parcels.

Fermented spontaneously in concrete with extended maceration, then aged nearly four years in large oak. The wine is structured, mineral, and refined—showing red fruit, herbs, and firm yet polished tannins. Built for long aging.

"Nuances of dusty florals, rosemary, sage, clove and leather give way to dried strawberry aromas as the radiant 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigneti del Versante blossoms in the glass. It's silky-smooth and deep, displaying extraordinary elegance. Soothingly soft textures, ripe red and blue fruit notes and a kick of vibrant acidity provide fantastic energy. Sweet, crunchy tannins steadily build toward the violet-tinged finale, tapering off with hints of blood orange and spice. In a word, spellbinding." —Eric Guido

"Slightly more closed or hesitant on first nose, the Pian dell'Orino 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigneti del Versante does show strong shoulders and medium-plus fruit concentration. This is a production of 6,302 bottles plus larger formats. This wine needs more time in bottle to properly flesh out, but you already get a clear view of its bright fruit, herbal notes and blue flower. It presents very elegant, broad-brushed aromas that are characteristic of this warm vintage." —Monica Larner

Tuscany is an ancient land and Montalcino winemaking tradition runs deep. Which makes Jan Erbach and Caroline Pobitzer miracle workers of a sort.

Neither of them are locals (he’s German and she’s from Alto Adige), and yet their little estate has gone from being an exciting young estate to being one of Montalcino's flat out best.

Of course, they haven’t done it alone. They became tight friends with Stella di Campalto and Francesco Leanza (founder of Podere Salicutti), both of whom also began making wine in the ‘90s. They all share a passion for Sangiovese, organic and biodynamic farming, and the terroir of Montalcino. They even started an organization, Sangiovese Per Amico, to increase understanding and appreciation of the grape and its wines.

Erbach, who trained as a winemaker in Germany, makes the wines with a very light touch. It helps that the wine has the sort of effortless complexity that comes from diverse soils (clay, calcerous, stony) and different expositions and elevations (as high as 500 masl).
