Piancornello - Montalcino, Tuscany
The family-run estate Piancornello, located in the famous Montalcino growing area, is producing outstanding wines. They were recently recognized by the Gambero Rosso for their beautiful Brunello di Montalcino, as well as the quality of their entire operation. The Piere family comes from generations of farmers that have always been successful in agriculture. In 1950, they began growing grapes and selling them to other wineries. Since 1990, they have been vinifying their own grapes; bottling and selling their wine directly to the consumer.
The exposure of the vineyards is influenced by the warm air flowing in from the Mediterranean and Tyrrean seas, and the soil is composed of intense red pumice and stones, which make this land the perfect place for Brunello production, as well as other great reds.
