Situated in the prestigious appellation of Montalcino, the Pian delle Querci spans an impressive 50 hectares, 8.5 of which are planted to Sangiovese. Of these 8.5 hectares, six of them are used for Brunello di Montalcino, which is the foundation of the estate’s production. The majority of the estate’s vines are planted on hills at around 250 meters above sea level and are rooted in clay-loam soils. In the vineyards, plants are kept low and are pruned down to two buds, so as to produce low yields of high-quality fruit. In the cellar, all fermentations are done with native yeasts in stainless steel vats, followed by aging in 50-hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels. The resulting wines are aromatic, flavor-packed, and promise to please fans of classical, more ‘old school’ styles of Nebbiolo.
