The 2012 vintage was marked by ideal growing conditions in Montalcino. The warm, dry summer allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, resulting in wines with exceptional concentration and balance. The cooler temperatures during the night helped to preserve the grapes' acidity, contributing to the wine's freshness and elegance. A captivating bouquet of fruity and floral notes, complemented by spicy and balsamic sensations that add zingy complexity. The palate offers silky tannins and a creamy texture that create a round and enveloping charm. The wine is persistent and offers an exceptional length on the palate.

Critic Reviews
James Suckling
94 Points
"94 points, James Suckling: ""A soft and silky red with plum, chocolate and light coffee character. Medium to full body, well-integrated tannins and a fruity and fresh finish. Drink in 2018."" 11/16."
Wine Enthusiast

93 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast:"Alluring wild berry, truffle, Mediterranean herb and tilled soil aromas lead the nose of this delicious red. The fresh, balanced palate delivers crushed raspberry, juicy black cherry, star anise and chopped mint flavors, while a cinnamon note closes the finish. Firm, polished tannins provide the elegant framework. Drink 2018–2027" 04/17
Vinous Media
91+ Points
91+ Points, Ian D'Agata, Vinous: "Dark red. Aromas and flavors of ripe strawberry, spicy plum, fresh herbs, vanilla and red
licorice. Wonderfully balanced, delicately creamy wine that is exceptionally easy to drink now thanks to broad, supple tannins but that has enough stuffing to keep and improve. Very successful Pian delle Vigne." 02/17
Wine Spectator
94 Points
94 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "The sweet cherry and raspberry flavors set the pace for this supple, charming Brunello. Leather, tobacco, earth and iron accents add complexity as this cruises to a terrific finish. Feels more open, yet this should develop well. Best from 2020 through 2033. " 06/17
