Antinori Pian della Vigne Rosso di Montalcino 2023 Northern Rhone with herbal oregano and thymeThe Land Pian delle Vigne sits 6 kilometers southwest of the town of Montalcino, on 184 hectares of which 83 are planted to vine, generally facing southwest to southeast at about 130 meters above sea level. The estate takes its name from a 19th century railroad station that still stands within its boundaries. Soils are calcareous clay, rich in fine gravel, ground that gives Sangiovese here freshness and minerality rather than sheer power. Montalcino
