"Druerne hentes fra ejendommens 11,69 ha på marken Pianrosso og er vel nok den vin, der på bedste måde - også historisk - repræsenterer ejendommen. Det er en Brunello di Montalcino af høj klasse, ædel, elegant og altid med stor fascinationskraft. Dertil kommer at vinen både er område- og varietaltro, og således glimrer med en aromatisk profil, der inkluderer florale noter, efterårsskovbund, røde skovbær, og en skøn variation af friske og tørrede stenfrugter. I munden opleves en varme i udtrykket, en dyb, næsten sødmefuld smagsfylde, fin spændstighed, og en forunderlig tekstur. Alt samles til et balanceret udtryk af luksuriøs sammensathed og raffinement." Adriat
"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso opens in the glass with dark aromas of crushed plums and black cherries, accompanied by notes of rosemary, spiced citrus peel and a hint of cocoa. This is a particularly racy style for Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona, with cool mineral tones and zesty acidity driving the ripe berry fruit and hints of sour citrus across the palate. Although structured, it finishes with tremendous energy and freshness, leaving a bitter hint of balsamic spice in the mouth. The 2018 may not have the power often associated with Pianrosso, but it impresses with its lively and spicy character." Vinous 94p
"A complex red wine with dark, spicy notes of liquorice, eucalyptus and tobacco that combine with cherry and berry flavours. Juicy, with a slightly viscous texture, with wild herb and iron elements creeping in on the long finish. Power meets grace." Wine Spectator 94p
"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino produces beautiful results if you choose to drink it now, or if you cellar it a little longer. It offers immediate intensity and complexity with a red and purple berry fruit attack that follows tarry spices, campfire ash, liquorice and rusty nails. These savoy tones are balanced with the wine's elegant, medium-weight finish. And the tannins are seamlessly integrated. The winemaking team has done a good job in a difficult vintage." Wine Advocate 96p
"This wine is so complex, with citrus and herbal notes lifting the blue and red berry fruits. Thyme, sage and lavender, but also mocha and clove. Full-bodied, full of depth and intensity, with firm but seamless tannins. Develops into espresso. Balanced, powerful and very long. Taste after 2025." James Suckling 97p
