Country: Italy
Region: Tuscany
Vintage: 2012
Score: 94
This shows wonderful precision and focus on the nose with dried flowers, crushed stones and dark-berry character. Full body, firm and chewy tannins and a long and intense finish. Some pine needles and dried spices on the finish. Needs time to soften. Try in 2021.

The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Pinone delivers lots of Sangiovese typicity and is especially expressive of how the grape performs in a warm vintage. You get a hint of dried cherry and creme de cassis with bramble, toasted almond and fragrant rosemary twig. Yet there is substance, power and texture at the back that should contribute to the wine's smooth aging trajectory.

Aromas of dark berry, leather, forest floor and a hint of truffle come together in the glass. The structured palate offers black cherry, tobacco and licorice alongside firm, polished tannins. Enjoy 2022–2029.

Pinino dates back to 1874, when it was established by Tito Costani beneath the Montosoli hill. Today it is co-owned by an Austrian couple and a Spanish couple, working with consulting oenologist Paolo Vagaggini. Touches of flint and incense counter more overt notes of balsamic herbs and dark cherry. Silky, layered tannins build on the palate to become surprisingly powerful. This will need a couple of years before approaching.

Reviewed By: Ian D’Agata on February 2018
Deep red, Rather low-toned aromas of plum, mocha and herbs. A bit unforthcoming in the mouth, showing a restrained sweetness to the red fruit, herb and spice flavors. Finishes long with slightly dry-edged tannins. Fresh and compact, but does not come alive today.

Deep ruby with orange tinges. Pronounced cherry nose tending to jamminess. Very rich, sweet-sour cherry palate that is a little artificial. (WS)
