The 2010 'Pianrosso' is an absolutely gorgeous single vineyard cru Brunello from Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona. It delivers wonderful aromas of fresh blackberries and plums, which are woven together with floral, earthy minerals, aged balsamic and sweet red licorice, all coming together beautifully in the glass. The full body is nicely balanced, supported by ripe tannins and a beautiful fine, silky texture. So pure and elegant as it finesses its way through the long, pretty finish. Not quite as accessible and open as the Brunello normale, so it will require a bit more patience, but that being said there's a lovely future ahead for this Pianrosso and it will be interesting to watch it evolve for years to come.
