The Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona estate boasts a history that dates back to the 17th century, situated in the heart of Montalcino, Tuscany. After passing through noble hands for centuries, the estate entered a new era in the 1980s under the ownership of Giuseppe Bianchini, who transformed it into one of Montalcino’s premier wineries. Today, the Bianchini family continues his legacy, producing wines of exceptional quality that honour the traditions of the region while embracing modern winemaking techniques. The 2020 vintage in Montalcino was characterised by a mild winter and a warm, sunny growing season, with some sporadic rainfall that helped maintain balance in the vineyards. These ideal conditions led to even ripening and optimal concentration of flavours in the Sangiovese grapes. Wines from this vintage exhibit freshness, vibrant fruit, and excellent structure, making them approachable yet age-worthy.
The Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2020 pairs wonderfully with classic Italian dishes like pasta with ragu, roasted meats, or aged cheeses. Its bright acidity and fresh fruit profile also make it an excellent companion for lighter fare such as grilled vegetables or poultry.
