Ciacci Piccolomini only makes this Riserva in the years that truly earn it, and 2019 in Montalcino was one of those years. It comes off the estate’s Pianrosso cru down in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, where iron-rich red soils give the wine its name and a deep, mineral backbone. This is traditional Brunello through and through, all Sangiovese, hand-picked, and given years in big Slavonian oak casks rather than flashy new barrels. The result is dark and structured, with the kind of elegance that sets this house apart from its neighbors. Buy it for the cellar, because it’s built to reward patience and won’t hit full stride for years.
