Pian dell'Orino was one of the first estates in Montalcino to be certified biodynamic, and it's located in the southeastern zone of Montalcino, Castelnuovo dell'Abate, right next to Biondi-Santi. Nuances of dusty florals, rosemary, sage, clove and leather give way to dried strawberry aromas as the radiant 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigneti del Versante blossoms in the glass. It's silky-smooth and deep, displaying extraordinary elegance. Soothingly soft textures, ripe red and blue fruit notes and a kick of vibrant acidity provide fantastic energy. Sweet, crunchy tannins steadily build toward the violet-tinged finale, tapering off with hints of blood orange and spice./p>

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.
