Careful vineyard management at Pian delle Vigne ensured the grapes reached excellent phenolic ripeness while retaining freshness and balance. Early September rainfall helped the vines complete ripening, resulting in a Brunello with expressive fruit, polished tannins and immediate charm alongside the structure expected from this prestigious DOCG.\u003cbr\u003eUnlike cooler vintages, the 2017 offers a more generous and approachable style in its youth, making it particularly attractive for collectors seeking a Brunello that can be enjoyed now while still rewarding further cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarchese Antinori Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino 2017 displays an intense ruby-red colour with remarkable clarity.\u003cbr\u003eThe bouquet opens with ripe cherry, plum and wild berry aromas layered with violet, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle spice. As the wine develops, notes of cocoa powder, liquorice, dried orange peel, and earthy woodland nuances emerge, adding further complexity.\u003cbr\u003eThe palate is silky and beautifully balanced, delivering concentrated red fruit supported by fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and impressive length. Hints of dark chocolate, savoury herbs and mineral freshness linger on an elegant finish, demonstrating why Pian delle Vigne remains one of Tuscany's benchmark Brunellos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Critics' Scores – 2017 Vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2017 vintage has received strong acclaim from leading international critics:\u003cbr\u003e• James Suckling – 93 Points \"Aromas of sweet cherries, flowers and dried orange peel... linear, tight and tense, with refined, polished tannins.\"\u003cbr\u003e• Wine Enthusiast – 92 Points\u003cbr\u003e• Wine Spectator – 91 Points\u003cbr\u003eThese scores reflect the wine's precision, balance, and ageing capability despite the challenging climatic conditions of the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Buy Marchese Antinori Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino 2017?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollectors and enthusiasts continue to seek out Pian delle Vigne because it consistently delivers authenticity, longevity, and exceptional value within the Brunello category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey highlights include:\u003cbr\u003e• Produced by the historic Marchesi Antinori family.\u003cbr\u003e• 100% estate-grown Sangiovese from Montalcino.\u003cbr\u003e• Traditional ageing in large oak casks to preserve varietal purity.\u003cbr\u003e• A more approachable Brunello vintage with excellent concentration.\u003cbr\u003e• Suitable for drinking now after decanting or cellaring for another 10–15 years under suitable conditions.\u003cbr\u003eWhether you are expanding a fine wine collection, purchasing an investment-worthy Italian \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/divinefinewines.co.uk\/collections\/red-wine\" title=\"Red Wine Collection\"\u003ered\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, or searching for a memorable bottle for a special dinner, the 2017 Pian delle Vigne is an outstanding choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing Recommendations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Brunello excels alongside rich, savoury cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal pairings include:\u003cbr\u003e• Grilled Florentine steak (Bistecca alla Fiorentina)\u003cbr\u003e• Slow-roasted lamb shoulder\u003cbr\u003e• Venison or game dishes\u003cbr\u003e• Wild mushroom and truffle risotto\u003cbr\u003e• Beef Wellington\u003cbr\u003e• Mature Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Toscano\u003cbr\u003eServing at 16–18°C and decanting for around two hours will allow the wine's complexity and aromatics to fully develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQ.
