About Ciacci Piccolomini Brunello di Montalcino

The story begins with bishops and marriages, for in Montalcino, in Tuscany (Italy), family sagas are chronicled with the same solemnity as Vatican notarial acts. First came Fabius de’ Vecchis, a bishop with ambitions of stone and eternity, who in 1672 commanded the construction of a palazzo on these hills. His legacy, he believed, would be forever etched in walls and episcopal crests.

Yet time rewrote the fate of the place. After the Church, the secular nobility arrived: the palazzo passed, through marriage, into the hands of the powerful Ciacci family and, later, to the Piccolomini d’Aragona. From these two surnames comes the name of the winery.

And when it seemed the story would remain ensnared in blue blood, a modern twist arrived. At the end of the 20th century, the torch was taken up by the Bianchini family, who inherited not titles, but something more ambitious: vision. They respected the walls, yes, but not the oenological dogmas. Where others repeated tradition, they sought purpose. Few embody it as clearly as this Brunello di Montalcino.

Here there are no tricks or artifices: only sangiovese vinified with surgical precision. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures and, afterwards, the wait. Over 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, between 20 and 75 hectolitres, where the wine breathes, calms, and learns. Finally, the last gesture of humility and patience consists of 8 months in the bottle before facing the world.

The result is a Brunello di Montalcino in its most essential form: breadth without exaggeration, structure without rigidity, and that sober, profound fruit that needs no display to assert itself. A wine that speaks softly, yet lingers long. For in the end, in these hills, history is written in stone… but memory endures in the glass.
