Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona Pianrosso Santa Caterina d’Oro Riserva Brunello di Montalcino 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. Score – 99.
