2010 Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino: 5 liters
The 2010 Marchesi Antinori Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 5L ranks among the very best in the Italian wine world. Hailing from the prestigious Pian delle Vigne estate, owned by Marchesi Antinori, this wine reflects the purity of 100% Sangiovese and the unique terroir of Montalcino. The exceptional 2010 vintage is internationally regarded as one of the greatest Brunello vintages ever produced.
The impressive 5-liter bottle ensures an exceptionally slow and harmonious aging process. As a result, the wine develops extra finesse, complexity, and elegance. This rare large-format bottle is particularly popular among collectors, investors, and wine enthusiasts looking for an iconic showpiece for their wine cellar.
Aroma & taste
The nose opens with complex aromas of ripe cherries, wild berries, violets, tobacco, leather, cedar, balsamic, spices, and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet refined, with silky-smooth tannins, lively acidity, and an exceptionally long, mineral finish that will continue to evolve for years to come.
Why a 5-liter bottle?
A 5-liter bottle ages considerably more slowly than a standard bottle. As a result, the wine retains its freshness longer and develops greater complexity and elegance. This size is extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts.
Serving & foodpairing
Serve at 17–18°C and decant the wine at least three hours in advance. Excellent with Florentine bistecca, game dishes, lamb, truffle dishes, slow-cooked beef, and aged hard cheeses.
The story behind the bottle
The name Pian delle Vigne refers to an old railroad station on the estate near Montalcino. Antinori acquired the estate in 1995, thereby extending the family’s centuries-long history of winemaking into the heart of the Brunello region. Brunello is made from Sangiovese, traditionally known locally as Brunello. The 2010 vintage is considered a particularly successful harvest year in Montalcino. This five-liter bottle makes the story even more remarkable: a size you rarely see at the table and one that deserves a special occasion.
