Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona Brunello DOCG 2021På lager: På lager
Brunello di Montalcino er basisversionen fra Piccolomini og kom til efter man i 2003 indkøbte nye marker, og den fremstår som et udsøgt og værdigt udtryk for ”den lille brune”, som Brunello betyder. Den fremstilles af druer fra ca. 25 år gamle planter og er tidligere drikkeklar end de øvrige og fremtræder raffineret, kompleks og generøs på en næsten luksuriøs, men afdæmpet måde. Skøn tekstur og stor harmoni opleves i munden og vinen demonstrerer en både smidig og spændstig frugt, og så denne ”varme”, der på forunderlig vis karakteriserer de bedste vine fra Montalcino. Allerede på dette niveau opleves magien og vinen er oplagt til servering i store Bourgogne-glas.
Da det sidste medlem af familien Piccolomini døde i 1985 blev denne klassiske og meget velrenommerede ejendom overtaget af Giuseppe Bianchini. I 2004 overtog sønnen Paolo og datteren Lucia stedet efter faderens bortgang. Der er tale om en historisk ejendom, der ligger i det sydøstlige hjørne af Montalcino-distriktet, kaldet Castelnuovo dell’Abate. Det fantastiske kælder udgør hele fundamentet for det smukke “Palazzo”, som blev bygget tilbage i det 17. århundrede af Montalcinos Biskop. I denne kælder opbevares ejendommens ældste årgange (det er fortsat muligt at besøge kælderen efter aftale).
Ejendommen fremstiller tre varianter af Brunello di Montalcino, som på deres respektive niveauer hører til den absolutte elite. De er konciperet i en opdateret traditionel stil, der imødekommer moderne ønologiske indsigter, men lagring foregår, i overensstemmelse med traditionen, på store botti af slavonsk eg, og ikke på franske barriques, som nogle producenter foretrækker. Det giver meget rene og frugtige vine, der ikke domineres af sekundær-aromaer fra fadene, og tillader druens delikate og nuancerede karakter at udfolde sig uforstyrret. De tre Brunello’er fra Ciacci Piccolomini forener det kraftfulde med det elegante og er alle umådeligt komplekse. De har den eftertragtede fløjlstekstur og dybe, rige smagsfylde, der gør at områdets fineste vine anprises som nogle af de mest fortrinlige udtryk for Sangiovese, Toscanas store blå drue.
96 points James SucklingAromas of violets, lavender, licorice, nutmeg and potpourri. Full-bodied with layers of fine tannins that are crunchy and silky, showing freshness and bright fruit at the end. Caressing texture. An excellent example of the vintage. Needs time to come together, but is very pretty and satisfying.
95 points FalstaffBrilliant ruby with a pronounced garnet rim. Intense nose, opens with notes of dried rose petals, then plums, dark cherry and some nougat. Polished and fine in attack and finish, lots of fine-meshed tannins, salty, a pleasure to drink.
95 points VinumAn elegant expression of Brunello with aromas of fresh red woodland berries, cherries and herbs. Supple in texture, with fine-grained, well-integrated tannins, lively acidity and a finely chiselled finish. Pairs well with Viennese beef dishes.
95 points Kerin O'KeefeThe bold 2021 Ciacci Piccolomini d™Aragona opens with aromas of camphor, ripe dark-skinned fruit, dark spice and new leather. Full-bodied and rather rich, the palate delivers succulent Morello cherry, intense licorice, blood orange and fine tobacco blend accompanied by enveloping, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity.
94 points Robert ParkerThis is a site I love, as it offers one of the grandest sunsets in Montalcino, and that sense of late-afternoon warmth seems to translate directly into the wine. The Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona 2021 Brunello di Montalcino shows sweet fruit and darker aromas that evoke sun-drenched slopes and fading light. There is warmth and sweetness here that flesh out over the palate, giving the wine notable volume, a hallmark of the estate’s vineyards on the southern side of the appellation. You could almost fault this wine for being too ripe, but that same sunshine-driven character defines its appeal, with alcohol reaching 15%.
