Rosso di Montalcino, Pietroso, Tuscany, Italy ‘04

Grapes: Sangiovese
Each: £13.35

Gianni Pignatti is a good, honest, straight up sort of a chap. He is an artisan farmer who nurtures his vineyards and makes his wine with a heart felt attention to detail so natural it reaffirms faith in mankind. His wines he presents with a modesty and humility that could be embarrassing were they not as good as they are.
This is benchmark Montalcino that shows the potential that has lead neighbours to produce many a flashier beast stamped with the signature of their creators. Pignatti’s is there in the tribute to the soil, region and vineyard that have allowed him to make such a fine tipple.
