Antinori - Pian delle Vigne Vignaferrovia Brunello di Montalcino Riserva - 2015 | Italian Red Wine

The Antinori family has been committed to the art of winemaking for over six centuries since 1385. Each vintage, each plot of land, each new idea is a new beginning — a new pursuit for achieving higher quality standards.

Vignaferrovia is only produced in the finest vintages from the grapes of a small 4 hectare (10 acre) parcel in the vineyard adjacent to the 19th century railway station on the estate. The soil is principally calcareous clay rich in small stones. The wine is elegant and captivating, characterized by a dense tannic structure complemented by freshness and sweetness. The first vintage of Vignaferrovia to be produced was 2004. It was not produced in 2005, 2008 and 2011.

The estate’s namesake wine, Pian delle Vigne, represents Marchesi Antinori’s deeply personal interpretation of a prestigious and traditional wine such as Brunello di Montalcino. The Antinori family acquired the estate in 1995, the same year the first Brunello Pian delle Vigne was harvested.
