The estate covers about 220 hectares, roughly 55 of them planted to vine, and is best known for its Brunello from the iron-rich Pianrosso vineyard. Giuseppe Bianchini, who had managed the property for decades, unexpectedly inherited it in 1985. His children Paolo and Lucia now farm it organically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAteo, Italian for “atheist,” was first made in 1989. That year the estate skipped its Brunello in a difficult vintage, and its young Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines gave their first harvest. At a time when international grapes had no official place in Tuscan tradition, the name was a playful act of defiance. Today the wine blends those two varieties with native Sangiovese, grown at 240 to 360 meters on medium-grained, marl-rich soils. It is fermented and matured in temperature-controlled stainless steel and glazed concrete vats, without oak, to keep the fruit vivid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAteo pours an intense ruby, with lively aromas of black cherry and plum, fresh herbs and warm spice. The palate is full-bodied, soft and well structured, with firm tannins and a long, juicy finish. Pair it with pasta in beef ragù, roast pork or lamb.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ciacci Piccolomini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51013398462650,"sku":"105799","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/qnucsvlnybi5c0pouz2l.webp?v=1794536290","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2024-ciacci-sant-antimo-doc-ateo-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
