Tuscany, Italy
The Birth of the Pianirossi estate is the fruit borne of the vision and efforts of its owner, Stefano Sincini. A special ‘terroir’ like Pianirossi deserved a wine of its own, not just a copy of other successes. Stefano Sincini decided to bring from his native Marches plants of Montepulciano to complement the traditional Tuscan Sangiovese as well as the Alicante and Petit Verdot.
The vineyard has been completely reorganized, using the best clones and the latest vine training techniques. Natural slopes provide optimum water management and exposition. No doubt that with the ageing of the vineyard, Pianirossi will become a point of reference in the new generation of Tuscan estates, with a style and personality of its own.

Solus 2006 IGT Maremma Toscana (RV)Varietal: 45% Sangiovese, 45% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, 10% Alicante. Intense purple colour. The nose is open and expressive of blackberry fruits with hints of spices and dry herbs. Full bodied, it displays a fine structure that enhances the fruitiness and ends up in a long final. |

Pianirossi Riserva 2006 (RV)Varietal: 40% Petit Verdot, 30% Montepulciano, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a beautiful ‘reserve wine’. The colour is deep red. The wine opens on an elegant and complex nose dominated by blackberries, strawberries, spices and balsamic hints. The mouth is filling and elegant and the nobility of the tannins leads to a remarkable length. It will age beautifully. |
