Pian delle Querci – Il Picchio Tech Sheets

Az. Ag. Montalcino Pian delle Querci: DOC/DOCG Brunello
Montalcino offers great views and great wine, but at a price. Now, Tuscan Vineyard Imports offers traditional and affordable wine from Montalcino from Pian delle Querci. Their Rosso, Brunello and Brunello Riserva adhere to tradition by making wine in massive oak barrels (Botti) and keeping production small. The result is classic wine that pays homage to the elegance and sense of terroir that is possible to achieve in Montalcino with the Sangiovese Grosso clone. Pian delle Querci’s Brunello Riserva is made only in outstanding vintages, ages gracefully but is also surprisingly ready to drink thanks to its elegant tannins, balanced acidity and ripe fruit. This winery consistently receives 90 Pt. reviews by Wine Enthusiast. Website: Pian delle Querci.

Rosso di Montalcino, 2011 DOC Rosso di Montalcino                                                          Sangiovese Grosso – Production 12,000 Bottles
A solid example of a Rosso from the northern slopes of Montalcino with bright fresh cherry on the nose and palate. The fruit on the palate is balanced by ample acidity and sweet tannins. A hint of licorice is on the pleasant finish.

Brunello di Montalcino, 2005 DOC Brunello di Montalcino                                                 Sangiovese Grosso – Production 35,000 Bottles
An elegant complex nose of red and black cherry and plums accompany mineral and leather notes. There are silky and sweet tannins on the palate along with balanced but pronounced acidity. Elegant and persistent finish.

Brunello Riserva, 2006 DOCG Brunello Riserva di Montalcino                                     Sangiovese Grosso –  Production 6,500 Bottles
Elegant dried red and black fruit on the nose with notes of dried violets which repeat on the palate. Tannins are smooth and fine. Acidity is not aggressive. It is ready to drink now or can be cellared. You will not find a better value! Very limited availability as Pian delle Querci’s Brunello Riserva is made only in outstanding vintages. Ages gracefully but is also surprisingly ready to drink thanks to its elegant tannins, balanced acidity and ripe fruit.
