The 2012 'Pianrosso' is another utterly compelling wine from Ciacci Piccolomini in this vintage. This Single Vineyard Brunello possesses a remarkable elegant character with wonderful aromas of raspberries and blackberries along with spices, leather, orange zest, juniper berries, floral, eucalyptus and minerals all taking shape in the glass. With more depth than the Classic Brunello, this impresses with its full, velvety texture along with wonderful balance and finesse, leading into the long, lingering finish. While this is already extremely appealing today, the Pianrosso is built for the long haul and will evolve beautifully for years to come. (Best 2019-2032) - April, 2017 (JD)
