Fattoi's Rosso di Montalcino comes from Sangiovese grapes, left to refine for a few months in oak barrels. The bouquet offers notes of small red fruits and morello cherries, while on the palate it is dry and persuasive, with a beautiful freshness and excellent persistence.
The2019 vintage started early and ended later than normal. Spring saw good levels of rainfall which helped maintain water storage levels ready for the warmer months. Summer was one of the hottest on record in Montalcino area. August was marked by cooler temperatures and some rain that replenished water reserves.
The Costanti family has owned this 10-hectare estate in Montalcino for over 200 years. In the latter part of the 19th century, Count Tito Costanti [1827-1895], Clementi Santi and Ferruccio Biondi Santi were pioneers in Montalcino.
Pian delle Vigne has adopted the philosophy of aging in large casks that preserves the exceptional integrity of the Sangiovese berry and imparts the characteristic vibrant elegance of Brunello to the wine. Brunello Pian delle Vigne is an extraordinary expression with great finesse.
2019 saw a cold winter with some snow, but rarely sub-zero temperatures. When spring came it gave a dry March and adequate rain in April and May.
94 pts, Monica Larner – robertparker.com. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino offers sweet fruit with lots of bright cherry and redcurrant. This Brunello reveals medium-rich concentration and an opulent mouthfeel with a smooth or almost creamy quality of fruit.
92 pts, Monica Larner – robertparker.com. The Fattoi 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva has a dark and savory set of aromas with blackcurrant, spice, baked rye bread and toasted cumin seed. The oak is very present in this wine, and it adds to the tannins and the rather broad approach of the mouthfeel.
In the vineyard: Lodolaio comes from pure Sangiovese grapes obtained from the reproduction through mass selection of vines of very ancient origin, in a soil composed mainly of marl and alberese. The year 2016 was characterized by constant heat, without excessive peaks, which helped the ripening of the grapes.
