Antinori's Pian delle Vigne - Montalcino

Pian delle Vigne, a 184-hectare property was bought by the Marchese Antinori in 1995 and, as is the Antinori way, all of the immediate energy went into the vineyards (there are 65 hectares planted) to elevate the grapes to the highest possible standard. Now that the vineyards have been fully looked after Ratto is excited by the prospect of a new winery being built on site. Don’t worry, it will be modest and understated because at Pian delle Vigne it’s the Brunello di Montalcino that is the star. You will notice the local train that runs through the property in the video and the abandoned train station. Pian Delle Vigne's name comes from the characteristic nineteenth century railway station located on the estate just a few steps from the vineyards.
