What reviewers say
“Brunello as it should be! Smooth, rich, elegant and...a great vintage. Forget it in your cellar, tannin is still vivid and powerful. Not to be drunk before 2020.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Marchesi Antinori’s passion for viticulture is expressed through perseverance: their continuous pursuit for quality improvement, even in the smallest details. Research and development is an ongoing process both in the vineyards and in the cellars: selecting new clones of local and international varieties: experimenting with new techniques in the vineyards and vineyard altitudes, new approaches to fermentation and temperature control, experimenting with both traditional and innovative winemaking philosophies, using new types of oak for barrels, barrel size and age, and varying length of aging in the bottle before commercial release.
Antinori Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino is an Italian red from Brunello di Montalcino. The grape is Sangiovese. It sits in the $60–120 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $78.00.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 288 other reds from Italy, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 8,480 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 8,679 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Antinori Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Italien (289 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 8,480.
