Antinori – Pian delle Vigne Vignaferrovia Riserva Brunello di Montalcino – 2016

100% Sangiovese Grosso.

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.

Forest-floor, scorched earth, grilled herb and stewed prune aromas slowly come to the forefront along with a whiff of blue flower. The savory, full-bodied palate is fresher than the nose, delivering dried cherry, blood orange, licorice, mocha and a dollop of vanilla framed in taut, fine-grained tannins. Wine Enthusiast – 94
