PIERI AGOSTINA ROSSO DI MONTALCINO 750 ml

Description:

This is one domain that takes great pride in its Rosso, treating it much like the Brunello. Pieri is the only producer ever to earn Gambero Rosso’s prestigious Tre Bicchieri score for a “mere” Rosso di Montalcino. That wine, the 1995, caused a sensation with its amazing concentration and persistance— it easily outpaced most Brunellos and set a new benchmark for the appellation. 

The Pieri Rosso seeks for the best balance between tradition and modernity. There’s always precocious Sangiovese fruit, but it is coupled with the modest color and substantial texture of the best traditional wines.
