Pian dell'Orino Description
Pian dell'Orino is a biodynamic estate in Tuscany producing some of the most compelling Brunello di Montalcino today. While the word ‘biodynamic’ often brings to mind wild and tangy natural flavors, in the case of Pian dell’Orino it just means they treat their vineyards like their garden. That tastes good. These wines are for anyone who appreciates the savory, elegant side of Tuscan reds but still wants something comforting and full-bodied.
Pian dell'Orino only makes ‘Bassolino di Sopra’ in the best years. The last vintage was three years ago, in 2012. 2015 is a full-bodied vintage, but still herbaceous and elegant.
Vinous: 97+ Points
Autumnal spices, sweet herbs and white smoke give way to ripe cherries and hints of licorice as the deeply seductive 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Bassolino di Sopra unfolds in the glass. This envelops the palate in opulent textural fruits (red and hints of blue), with balsam herbs and nuances of candied citrus lifted by bright acidity. Sweet tannins frame the expression nicely through the slightly candied finish; yet make no mistake, while the Bassolino di Sopra may show the sunny nature of the 2015 vintage, it does so in a wonderfully harmonious way. This single-vineyard Brunello is simply a pleasure to taste and will continue to wow readers over the next 15-20 years. (EG) 97+
