Brunello di Montalcino 'Vignaferrovia - Pian delle Vigne' Antinori 2016

The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 'Vignaferrovia' by Antonori comes from a vineyard of just four and a half hectares in Montalcino, adjacent to an ancient 19th-century railway station that gives its name to the label. The Sangiovese grapes ferment in stainless steel with a maceration on the skins of about three weeks, then the wine matures for over two years in oak barrels from 5 to 30 hectoliters. On the nose, notes of ripe fruit emerge with hints of tobacco, cocoa, and spicy notes of cloves, while on the palate it reveals itself to be full, compact, and supported by silky tannins and a pleasant freshness. Perfect with a Sangiovese braised beef
