PIETRANERA Brunello di Montalcino

Pietranera is a Brunello of solemn nobility, the progeny of a unique volcanic terroir rich in quartz, which carves its mineral soul and vertical tension.

The nose reveals a texture of rare elegance, where crisp cherry and pomegranate meld with refined hints of graphite and wild rose. On the palate, the sip is proud and vibrant, sustained by a lively acidity and ultra-fine tannins that lead toward a finish of aristocratic persistence.

An award-winning masterpiece that, thanks to lengthy aging in traditional oak, expresses a timeless purity—ideal for the most discerning palates.

Pietranera Estate

Tenuta Pietranera represents an extraordinary extension of specialized vineyard which, unlike other hilly vineyards in the area, forms a single body positioned in a bright and protected plain. This conformation allows the vineyards to benefit from the constant presence of the sun and the beneficial protection of Mount Amiata, which casts its shadow only at the end of the day, offering stable and favorable conditions for the slow maturation of Sangiovese cultivated with the most traditional method, in full respect of the authenticity of the territory.
