The winery is located to the north of Montalcino, embedded like a natural amphitheater into the beautiful hillside of Montosoli. This unique geography has made the region a favorite destination for the wealthy of Montalcino in the 18th century.
The vineyards spread over 16.5 hectares (41 acres) planted to 100% Sangiovese.
4 hectares are located on the Pinino estate with a southern exposure and galestro soil. The remaining land is located on the Canchi estate with a southeastern exposure and soils consisting of a mix of clay and limestone.
The requirements for the vinification of Pinino wines is based on the primary product - the grapes. Pinino's philosophy is to achieve high quality through reduction of the harvest per grape vine by clipping shoots and grape selection. The grapes are picked by hand and transported only in small crates to avoid squashing. In the cellar, traditional methods are supported with modern technology and the use of new fermentation tanks.

Review:
The 2023 Zinfandel Buck Cobb Vineyard is bold, juicy and expressive. Dark cherry, plum, gravel, spice, herbs and lavender are front and center. This shows terrific depth and plenty of character to match its exuberant personality.
