A light rustic note lifts initially from the 2021 Rosso Di Montalcino, but it blows off so quickly and is so well-integrated into the wine, I'm hesitant to even say it was there, since I find it quite attractive. The wine displays a jeweled ruby color and offers notes of pristine candied cherries, ripe tannins that are well-defined, and a lovely lozenge-like feel. It's going to drink well over the coming 10 years..

Pian dell'Orino is a small, biodynamic estate in Montalcino run by Caroline Pobitzer and Jan Hendrik Erbach. Located near Biondi-Santi, the domaine works with Sangiovese from carefully farmed parcels and takes a remarkably patient approach to understanding soil, exposure and vine material. The cellar is quiet and traditional in spirit, with native fermentations, large casks and a focus on transparency rather than concentration. Their Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino are elegant, detailed and aromatic, showing Montalcino through finesse, mineral structure and lifted red fruit instead of sheer power.
