Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona is a renowned winery located in the picturesque region of Montalcino, Tuscany. The Brunello di Montalcino is crafted exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, a varietal known for its robust character and aging potential. The wine undergoes a meticulous winemaking process, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by aging in large Slavonian oak barrels, which imparts a balanced oak influence without overpowering the fruit. This Brunello exhibits a complex flavor profile with notes of ripe cherry, plum, and hints of leather and spice, supported by firm tannins and vibrant acidity. It pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.

There's no mistaking this wine for anything but Brunello. The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows beautiful continuity, crescendoing on the nose and palate in synchronicity. There are aromas of grilled watermelon, red cherry, garden herb and violet, and there is a charred note that recalls the toasted oak. The bouquet balances out beautifully, but you do get considerably more power on the palate thanks to the oomph of 15% alcohol and young tannins that get under your gums. Give this wine a few more years of bottle age.
