Only produced in exceptional years, the single-vineyard Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro is a fine and delicate wine with great depth, perfectly balanced power and plenty of drive. Mocha, black cherry, smoke, liquorice and dark, fleshy fruit are some of the typical signatures of this extreme wine. Juicy and full-bodied on the palate, it gradually opens up with fine-meshed tannins and plenty of cherry flavours, yet is extremely elegant and describes a broad arc in its overall appearance. The 2019 edition is a particularly dark, broodingBrunello that will gain even more tension and finesse during its well-deserved further maturation. SUPERIORE.DE

"Noble, bright ruby red colour with a subtly brightening rim. Smells of ripe cherries, ripe strawberries, dried rose petals, a hint of sealing wax and fine tobacco notes on the finish. Very full-bodied and engaging on the palate, rich and full-bodied, with great savouriness and juiciness, vibrant, long, powerful, big." Falstaff

"Dark, brooding and powerful, the Brunello di Montalcino Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro Riserva 2019 is a force to be reckoned with. It pours from the glass with a burst of crushed blackberries, plums and exotic spices, further complicated by dried orange peel and cedar shavings. Velvety and weighty, it floods the palate with rich and enveloping textures. At the core of this wine is an enticing and stabilising acidity with ripe red and black fruits flooding the senses. The 2019 rejuvenates with dramatic length and structure, leaving a frame of sweet tannins and a finish of salted liquorice and mocha that lingers." Vinous

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro offers a dark, concentrated approach with a bouquet of black fruits, spices, earth and smoked tobacco. I find the approach quite robust and ponderous. This vintage is particularly concentrated and recommended for those looking for this powerful style. The tannins come with a hint of dryness." Wine Advocate

"The ripe yet fresh flavours are so seductive and irresistible, showing plums, cedar, rose petals and a hint of leather. Full-bodied yet framed and taut with fantastic length and intensity. The polished tannins are powerful but restrained and show great presence and character. This is a monumental wine in many ways. A wine for the cellar." James Suckling
