Pian delle Vigne
The Antinori family acquired the Pian Delle Vigne estate in 1995, the same year the first Brunello Pian delle Vigne was harvested. The estate’s namesake wine, Pian delle Vigne, represents Marchesi Antinori’s deeply personal interpretation of the prestigious and traditional Brunello di Montalcino. The Pian Delle Vigne estate takes its name from the eponymous area where a characteristic nineteenth century railway station is located.
