Winemaker Notes
Round, full and roasted aromas envelope this Sangiovese from Montalcino. Structured and deep, offering leather, red and black cherries, and strong tannins.
Critical Acclaim
94 Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is buoyant and lifted with lots of bright cherry and raspberry fruit that pops from the glass. Despite the heat and the drought of the growing season, this wine produces grace and softness with ethereal layers of balsam herb, cola and dried rose potpourri. The finish is dry, tight and firm but also silky and long. This is a terrific effort from Piancornello.
93 James Suckling
Sweet berries and cherries with some flowers. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins and a fresh and an extremely long finish. Really nicely done for this hot vintage. Juicy. Just give it another year or two, to even it out Try after 2022.
