Product Details
Always bears reminding that Piero is a single vineyard at the estate below the village of Sant'Angelo in Colle that spends 24 months in tonneaux (new, second and third passage). The finale becomes a blend of these vessels in whatever increments are necessary to invoke and cement harmony. This vineyard designate wine also delivers the greatest sweet acids that make the fruit seem as ripe as is conscionable but the truth is something different. A marriage of cherry and peach with spicy pomegranate and it is the freshness of this sangiovese that piques the nose with a peppery tickle. It's uncanny how Piero's concentration always seems to have this effect. Solid if ever so tantalizingly salty, micro-climate conspicuous and then you add in this omnipresent quality of near perfect grapes out of a season that gifted everything - the consensus attitude and conclusion is of a wine that speaks in the clearest Montalcinese vernacular as if it were the language itself. Hard to find any fault or letdown in its presentation and architecture. The tannins are just about 100 percent ripe and as for issues, well there are none. Drink 2026-2037. Tasted November 2023.
