Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona Pianrosso Santa Caterina d’Oro Riserva 2019

Wow. The ripe yet fresh aromas are so alluring and compelling, showing plums, cedar, rose petals and hints of leather. Full-bodied yet framed and tensioned with fantastic length and intensity. Polished tannins are powerful but reserved, showing great presence and character. This is a monumental wine in many senses of the word. One for the cellar. (jamessuckling.com,Dec. 12, 2024)
