Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Pietranera is located in the heart of Montalcino, between Val d'Arbia and Val d'Orcia. The Peluso Centolani family bought it in 1979 as a hunting preserve, when it consisted of only 10 hectares. In 1983, they produced their first vintage of Brunello di Montalcino. After years of large investments in planting new vines, building new facilities and renovating the estate, Pietranera is now one of the largest and most famous wine estates in Montalcino, with it's vineyards, olive groves, arable land and woods covering approximately 200 hectares. 45 hectares are planted to vine, cultivated solely with Sangiovese for their Brunello. The vineyards are located on the southeast side of the hill, facing the Amiata Mountain, which is an ancient volcano. They benefit from the steady presence of the sun, making these wines warm, dry, velvety and well-balanced, with elegant body, minerality, and expressive tannins. All wines are made organically.

Pretty, very ripe berry and cherry aromas with hints of dark chocolate, following through to a full body with round tannins and a flavorful finish. Nicely integrated for the vintage. Needs time to come together, but there’s attractive, ripe fruit.
