The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino appears a ruby red color verging on garnet in the glass. The bouquet is intense, fruit-forward, spicy and floral with hints of red berry fruits enriched by delicate spicy notes. Warm, soft and very well balanced on the palate; well structured with soft tannins and long aftertaste.

Great companion to roasted and stewed game meat. Excellent with mature cheeses and traditional hand-made pasta featuring red meat and game ragout.

100% Sangiovese. Fermentation and refinement takes place in stainless steel and glass concrete vats, temperature-controlled via cooling plates and jackets. Aging in oak barrels for an extended period, followed by refinement in the bottle.

This is a site I love, as it offers one of the grandest sunsets in Montalcino, and that sense of late-afternoon warmth seems to translate directly into the wine. The Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona 2021 Brunello di Montalcino shows sweet fruit and darker aromas that evoke sun-drenched slopes and fading light. There is warmth and sweetness here that flesh out over the palate, giving the wine notable volume, a hallmark of the estate’s vineyards on the southern side of the appellation. You could almost fault this wine for being too ripe, but that same sunshine-driven character defines its appeal, with alcohol reaching 15%. Production is 72,900 bottles, including alternative formats.  Drink 2026-2040.
