Join us for a Brunello and Olive Oil tasting featuring Ciacci Estate Wines with David DuBou of Indigenous Selections
Wednesday, June 19th from 5:30-7pm
Where: The Wine and Cheese Place 7435 Forsyth Blvd in Clayton
We will be showing off the stunning newly released 2019 Brunello and Brunello Pianrosso along with a couple of vintages of Ciacci’s most prized and rare bottling, the Brunello Santa Caterina D’Oro Riserva. Along with these stunning wines we will have a sampling of the Ciacci Estate Olive Oil paired with bread from Union Loafers.
2019 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona - Brunello di Montalcino....$63.99
There's no mistaking this wine for anything but Brunello. The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows beautiful continuity, crescendoing on the nose and palate in synchronicity. There are aromas of grilled watermelon, red cherry, garden herb and violet, and there is a charred note that recalls the toasted oak. The bouquet balances out beautifully, but you do get considerably more power on the palate thanks to the oomph of 15% alcohol and young tannins that get under your gums. Give this wine a few more years of bottle age.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate

2019 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso...$89.99
The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso opens to a wide and all-encompassing bouquet with dried cherry or cherry pie with the crust, plum tart and rose potpourri. There are evident oak tones, but they fold into underbrush, grilled herb and the generous texture of this wine. Likewise, the 15% alcohol content also neatly disappears into the wine's fleshy fruit consistency. For sure, this is a wine that needs more bottle evolution in order to hone in on the silkiness and pretty freshness of such an important Sangiovese. Exactly 43,054 bottles were made along with about 1,000 larger formats.
2010 Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona - Brunello di Montalcino Vinga di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro Riserva....$229.99
Aromas of plums, flowers, fresh mushrooms and violets. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a long, long finish. Beautiful balance and length. Powerful tannins underneath the exquisite fruit. Great finish. Goes on for minutes. Drink or hold.
2012 Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona Brunello di Montalcino Vinga di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro Riserva....$229.99
Some glossy oak warmth across the ripe red cherry and raspberry aromas on the nose. With walnuts, blonde tobacco, sweet brown spices and earthy nuances too. The palate has a level of power and energy that really sets it apart. Shows a very succulent and vibrant core of red fruits and light earthy notes through the finish. Great balance here. Try from 2022.
