A great way to break into Sangiovese and for that matter Brunello di Montalcino. Medium to full-bodied, well balanced and fruit-driven with tobacco notes to compliment.
Winery: Piancornello, Italy
The estate vineyard at Piancornello was bought by the Pieri Family in 1950. The fruit was sold to other Montalcino producers until they began making their own wine starting with the 1990 vintage. Silvana Pieri has since passed down the estate to her son Claudio (who has been and continues to be the winemaker) and his wife, Silvia.
