Winemaker Notes: 

"This is one domain that takes great pride in its Rosso, treating it much like the Brunello. Pieri is the only producer ever to earn Gambero Rosso’s prestigious Tre Bicchieri score for a “mere” Rosso di Montalcino. That wine, the 1995, caused a sensation with its amazing concentration and persistance— it easily outpaced most Brunellos and set a new benchmark for the appellation. 

The Pieri Rosso seeks for the best balance between tradition and modernity. There’s always precocious Sangiovese fruit, but it is coupled with the modest color and substantial texture of the best traditional wines.  On the nose, crushed black cherry, savory herbs and violet. Classic Sangiovese, lively with red berries and cherry, plush tannin, and exuberant fruit and weight."
