It has now become apparent that the year 2010 is one of the greatest vintages ever for Brunello di Montalcino and the two professional tasters (below) agree that the 2010 Pianrosso (the flagship wine of the estate) is the best wine ever produced from this vineyard:-
"Aromas of lilac,dark berry,and sandalwood follow through to a full-body,with fine tannins and an intense and savory finish.Very intense and very long.Succulent.Amazing balance and depth to this red.It's so beautiful to taste now,but it will be much better in five to ten years.A triumph".

"Beautiful and delicate from the start,the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna di Pianrosso impresses for its depth and balance.The wine sees one more year of cask aging compared to the base Brunello and you can definitely see the extra spice on the nose.Those delicate balsam notes of root beer,ginger and rosemary oil are still prominently on display.Rich spice,leather,and tar are followed by dark fruit,prune,blackberry and cassis.The finish is graceful and silky,but its length remains impressive.This is a terrific effort that promises a steady evolution ahead.
One of the stars of the Castelnuovo dell'Abate subzone,this historic estate,in family hands for generations,has beautifully interpreted the 2010 vintage.Among its most precious assets is the Pianrosso vineyard with southwest exposures and medium,reddish soils,peppered with galestro stones.Vines are planted at 240 to 360 meters above sea level and have benefited from diurnal temperature shifts that spark such energy,vitality and buoyancy in the bouquet of its wines.The 2010 Brunello Vigna di Pianrosso is the best yet".
