Christophe is a multi-talented winemaker. After establishing the family domaine as the leader in the region, he started a small negoce, buying the best grapes sourced locally from some of the finest, very old vineyards. He prefers to use traditional winemaking techniques to produce his classically elegant wines. This luxurious oak fermented white is delicious to drink on its own, but is probably best suited to be enjoyed with your finest sourced white meat or fish dishes, seafood, snails, risotto, or gougeres filled with cream cheese & smoked salmon, perhaps. ...

The 2007 Brunello Pianrosso is a more complex wine than the regular Brunello, although it is basically vinified in the same way. It displays a dark fruit character with pure rich aromas & flavors. Fermented in stainless steel & aged in Slavonian oak barrels for four years, it is a big structured wine with lots of fruit, spice & earth that will require time to integrate. Give this wine three to five years in bottle, at a minimum. Awards 5* from Decanter. ...

The Ciacci Piccolomini d' Aragona 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso is distinguished by a unique aromatic profile that brings out mineral notes of crushed limestone or chalk. This adds a greater sense of focus & delineation that not only characterizes the bouquet but also applies to the way the wine hits the palate in a fuller & more determined way (compared to the slightly softer classic Brunello). Instead, this single-vineyard Brunello shows an upright & direct approach with soft salinity on the close followed by forest fruit, spice & medicinal herb. The mouthfeel makes a big impact thanks to its streamlined & polished texture. 96 pts ML, The Wine Advocate. Lots of ripe & rich fruit with a decadent undertone of meat & spice that turns to pure fruit & liquorice. Medium to full body, refined tannins & a fresh & bright finish. All about harmony. 100 points, James Suckling. Limited stock. ...

Ruby red in colour with notes of red berry fruit enriched by slightly floral & spicy hints. Warm & soft on the palate with great structure & round tannins. The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino Rossofonte is a serious wine that captures the essence of the Ciacci style, but is naturally more approachable than the estates Brunellos. Wild cherry, tobacco, Cedar, mint & lavender infuse the Rosso with striking layers of nuance. Far from an easy going wine, 2015 packs a real punch, making it a great choice for the dinner table, where it will be exquisite with similarly rich foods. 92 Points Antonio Galloni, Vinous ...

Ruby red in colour. Fruity aromas of ripe berries with balsamic notes on the nose predict an alternation between sweetness & acidity in the mouth. Its sweet-acid components evoke raspberry & ripe blackberry. Spicy finish recalls star anise & pink pepper. Powdery tannins. ...
