A couple living in Vancouver built their wine collection over the pandemic, taking advantage of the time available for research and the enjoyment of wine. During their travels before the pandemic, they had discovered producers and styles that intrigued them—collecting wine from the places they had visited or finding bottles they had enjoyed along the way became a way to break the monotony of quarantine. A relationship was established with Morrell Wine, specifically with their representative from the importer, who played a significant role in helping them refine their vision for the ideal collection. Most of their bottles were stored at Morrell’s cellar prior to their move to Canada, though they kept a few cases in a carefully maintained cellar in their Austin high-rise. To ensure the collection’s safe transport, they worked with the expert team at Xpeditr, coordinating its secure transfer from Morrell and Austin to a new cellar in Vancouver in 2022, where the bottles have remained since import. They now hope these bottles will find a home with someone who truly appreciates wine and the shared moments it fosters, whether they are new to collecting or seasoned enthusiasts.
The scores for 2015 Ciacci Piccolomini d Aragona Pianrosso Brunello di Montalcino DOCG - James Suckling - 100. The rating for 2015 Ciacci Piccolomini d Aragona Pianrosso Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso is distinguished by a unique aromatic profile that brings out mineral notes of crushed limestone or chalk. This adds a greater sense of focus and delineation that not only characterizes the bouquet but also applies to the way the wine hits the palate in a fuller and more determined way (compared to the slightly softer classic Brunello). Instead, this single-vineyard Brunello shows an upright and direct approach with soft salinity on the close followed by forest fruit, spice and medicinal herb. The mouthfeel makes a big impact thanks to its streamlined and polished texture. Some 37,000 bottles were released in January 2020.
