In the glass, it reveals a captivating ruby red hue with subtle garnet highlights. The bouquet is nothing short of enchanting, offering an intense and fruit-forward experience.

Wine Spectator concurs, describing its density and brooding nature, with plum, cherry, earth, menthol, and tobacco notes. Despite its current austerity, the wine’s equilibrium and length leave a lasting impression.
Meanwhile, Wine Enthusiast highlights the wine’s evolving aromatic journey, from sweet cherry and vanilla bean to cured meat and graphite, all underscored by crisp fruit flavors of red apple skin and Bing cherry.
Decanter adds the final layer of praise, emphasizing the umami quality and deliciousness of taste. The Pianrosso selection from Ciacci Piccolomini’s vineyards showcases its southern origins with iron-rich marly soils. It boasts a distinctive shape, depth, and endurance, with notes of persimmon, hibiscus, iron, and salty minerals.
